Amaravati to be single capital, Andhra informs SC in affidavit

State's chief secretary Neerabh Kumar Prasad submitted the affidavit, a copy of which HT has seen, in the Supreme Court on December 10 and it came to light on Thursday.

"The government will continue with, and complete construction of, a single capital city for the state of Andhra Pradesh located at Amaravati," it said.

The development came ahead of the hearing by the top court on a special leave petition filed by the previous YSRCP government, challenging the Andhra Pradesh high court's March 3, 2022 order that upheld Amaravati as the only capital city of the southern state.

The Naidu government has urged the Supreme Court to dispose of the SLP filed by the previous regime, saying it would comply with the high court order. It, however, requested the top court for a modified schedule given by the high court to complete the development of Amaravati as the capital within six months.

The affidavit said the government would complete the works within three years.
