The district administration has identified 35 acres of land in Veeracholapuram for the Master Plan complex. The Collectorate building would be spread over 2.7 lakh sq. feet of space.

The office of the Superintendent of Police would be coming up in five acres of land. The Master Plan complex would also include the Integrated Court Complex spread over four acres.

The Collectorate building will also have a bank branch, a post office, a grievance redressal hall and a gym for men and women. The Collectorate complex will be completed in 18 months, the official added.
