AP High Court Orders Amaravati Masterplan To Be Implemented

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Thursday ordered that the Amaravati Masterplan be implemented and all development activities be continued in the region in a blow to the YSRC government’s plans to have three capitals.

With this judgement, the three capitals idea looks uncertain, though the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government has been claiming that it would not give up on it.

A three-member division bench of the High Court, headed by Chief Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra, also ordered that the government honour the agreement signed with farmers, who parted with their lands for the development of the capital city Amaravati, and take up development activities.

The bench ordered that the government submit an affidavit in six months on the progress of the development works in Amaravati.
