Amaravati: In a bid to change the land usage pattern in the Capital city Amaravati, to give the house sites to the poor as announced, the government published a Gazette notification inviting the public to raise objections. Amidst protests from farmers, who sacrificed their fertile agriculture lands to Government for construction of the world-class capital city, the new government took this decision.

Objections and suggestions with contact details(Mobile/phone number/e-mail) received after the due date shall not be entertained including postal delays, if any, it was explained in the Gazette.
