Centre agrees to alienate 3.34 acres of AIIMS-Mangalagiri land for road project in Amaravati
In lieu of it, the Ministry of Health asks officials to expedite the process of handing over 10 acres of alternative land to the medical institution
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has given provisional approval to allot 3.34 acres of land at AIIMS-Mangalagiri for the construction of the E-13 Road Extension Corridor, which will link E-13 with NH-16 in Amaravati's capital city. The decision was made in the public interest, with the Ministry directing the district administration to expedite the process of transferring 10 acres of alternative land to AIIMS-Mangalagiri in exchange for the 3.34 acres being allocated for the road project.
Union Minister of State for Rural Development Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar informed The Hindu on Saturday that the Central and State governments, along with the district administration, are working together to resolve the land issue and facilitate the crucial road connectivity project. Sekhar stated that completing the road link would enhance connectivity between Mangalagiri and Guntur, allowing for faster movement and improved road infrastructure for the public.
The Ministry has also advised officials to expedite the demarcation and handover of the remaining 6 acres out of the originally allotted 183 acres to AIIMS-Mangalagiri.
