GUNTUR: In a move that could trigger angry protests, the AP government is reportedly planning to relocate four villages in the proposed capital city.
According to reliable sources, the government has zeroed in on Nelapadu, Sakhamuru, Inavolu and Velagapudi in Tulluru mandal for location of the 'seed' capital. All houses and other structures in these villages may be demolished and the people shifted to other places.
Although the government is waiting for the master plan from Singapore to take the final call, municipal administration minister P Narayana is believed to have asked some of the local TDP leaders to get feedback from the villagers. Sources said government buildings like secretariat, Raj Bhavan, Assembly and high court will come up in the 'seed' capital city.
These villages together have 5,000 acres of agriculture land and a majority of farmers have agreed to the land pooling scheme. Sources said the government may give the villagers additional land in return for their houses and other properties.
The government plans to take complete possession of these villages. It will also take over panchayat land. The government thus far has been claiming that it will not take over houses and other buildings in the villages that fall under the capital city.
