VUDA to take up another 100-ft road

To promote connectivity in Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region (VMR), VUDA has taken up development of another 100-ft Master Plan road in Madhurawada zone.

Keeping in view the demand from the locals and the directions from Lok Ayukta, VUDA has initiated the formation of new Master Plan road connecting the national highway at Durga Theatre to Bakkannapalem junction, which is about 1.8 km.

VUDA Vice-Chairman N. Yuvaraj asked officials to finalise the road development plan with the GVMC officials for starting the work. Proposals of shifting the electric poles, settlement of Transferable Development Rights to the land-losers are among the issues yet to be finalised.

Some locals approached the Lok Ayukta seeking that a road be laid providing them connectivity.

Local farmers and landowners losing part of their land met the Vice-Chairman and appealed for compensation. Dr. Yuvaraj assured them of convening a meeting with them to sort out the issues involved.

Later, the Vice-Chairman inspected Kommadi road works which are expected to be completed by January 15.

The Vice-Chairman inspected the road work at Ganesh Nagar and the completed work at Bhindranagar opposite cricket stadium. Chief Engineer I. Viswanatha Rao, Chief Urban Planner R.J. Vidyullatha and Executive Engineer M. Appanna were present.
