Gamut of Opportunities

“There are many ongoing projects in the district and with the vision of the Hon’ble AP Chief Minister Shri Nara Chandrababu Naidu, the State Government and District administration, would like to complete them this year. Along with the works in progress, many projects have started for this year too. Developments in the city will include improving the quality of municipal services and implementing Smart City elements. Underground cabling will ensure that the power supply isn’t disrupted during natural calamities like cyclones. The water supply, with the support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will be provided to places that don’t have it. Underground drainage, the launch of command and communication centers, better sanitation and more beautification are other areas that will be in focus. A Smart Street project will be taken up to bring a technical approach to scientifically develop streets. This will ensure creating pedestrian pathways, street lights, incorporating public bicycle services, smart toilets and even having a real-time bus monitoring system.”
