Andhra Pradesh government cancels TDR worth ₹208 crore in Visakhapatnam
VISAKHAPATNAM : Andhra Pradesh govt has cancelled the controversial transferable development rights (TDR) valued at 208 crore in Revallapalem, Visakhapatnam. The TDR was allegedly issued illegally for land acquired for the construction of an 80-feet road from Madhurawada to Revallapalem via Navodaya school. Jana Sena corporator P Murthy Yadav said that he had lodged a complaint regarding the issue with the state municipal administration and urban development minister, P Narayana, during the minister's recent visit to Vizag. "I thank the minister for the prompt response and for cancelling the TDR," said Murthy Yadav. According to a govt memo issued on June 5, it was initially directed that TDR be considered and issued to property owners for the formation and development of the 80-feet-wide master plan road, namely Bakkannapalem road. However, following adverse media reports concerning the issuance of TDRs, the GVMC commissioner was requested to re-examine the matter with reference to certain aspects, including ownership, valuation of TDR, and the extent of land affected. Furthermore, the director of town and country planning, Mangalagiri, submitted that despite repeated directives, GVMC had not yet taken the necessary action. Meanwhile, adverse news reports continue to surface, raising concerns related to govt land involvement and discrepancies in the ground report submitted by GVMC, among other issues. Consequently, state govt has directed the GVMC commissioner to cancel the previously issued TDR and initiate a fresh review by placing the matter before the TDR committee.

Jana Sena corporator urges state government to appoint Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation commissioner
Visakhapatnam: GVMC Jana Sena corporator P Murthy Yadav has requested the state govt to promptly fill the vacant post of Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) commissioner, which has been unoccupied for over four months. In a letter to chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Murthy said that the position has remained vacant since the transfer of the former commissioner, Sampath Kumar. "Full additional responsibilities have been assigned to the district collector. GVMC is the largest corporation in Andhra Pradesh, and as an executive officer, the Commissioner of GVMC is required to attend to various duties as per the Municipal Corporation Act, including both legal and non-legal responsibilities. You are well aware of the commissioner's duties, such as overseeing daily administration, managing sanitation, public utilities, and major project works. It is highly unfortunate that this post has remained vacant for such a long time without appointing a suitable officer," said Murthy. "The people of Visakhapatnam are questioning why such a large municipal corporation is being run without a regular commissioner, something that has never happened in the history of Visakhapatnam. They are also expressing concern that despite a change in govt, there has been no change in the state administration. Although elected representatives exist in the local body, the failure of the state govt to appoint a regular commissioner is viewed as a sign of disrespect towards all elected representatives. Furthermore, keeping the commissioner's post vacant for such an extended period is inappropriate, and such actions damage the govt reputation, reflecting poorly on the system. Considering these circumstances, I request that the chief minister personally look into this matter and immediately appoint a new GVMC commissioner to ensure the smooth operation of the corporation," Murthy added in the letter.
