Landowners who give their land for the construction of the capital city will also get benefits, reported the Deccan Chronicle. 

The AP government has also accepted the demand of metta landowners for 50 square yards of land as additional allotment, stated the report. Chandrababu Naidu was taking part in the housewarming ceremony of the temporary secretariat.
