Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Friday said that the State government would take measures to develop Guntur on a par with the top ten cities in the world
Construction activity would happen in about 2,000 square kilometres in the capital region, as rules relating to buildings were being liberalised to facilitate rapid development.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be participating in the foundation stone laying ceremony scheduled for October 22 at Amaravati, the Chief Minister said.
Inaugurating the three-day Andhra Pradesh Real Estate Developers Association (APREDA) property show in Guntur, Mr. Chandrababu Naidu said that private companies would be made partners in the construction of the capital city of Amaravati.
