Three more international members are likely to be included in the panel. This will give suggestion on possible Raj Bhavan, Secretariat, Assembly, Council and other issues related to the capital.
Meanwhile, the Andhra Pradesh government is contemplating to propose amendments to the new Land Acquisition (RR) Act, in view of acquiring land for setting up new capital city and also for industrial corridors, national-level institutions of higher education, growth centres, smart cities and others.
All the joint collectors and revenue divisional officers of all the 13 districts in the state were asked to offer their suggestions for formulation of rules to facilitate operationalisation of the new LA Act.
Deputy chief minister KE Krishnamurthy through a video conference asked them to submit reports on available government lands, assigned lands, classification of different lands within two months. The present act came into force only from January 1, 2014 andis yet to be operationalised.
