The AP Capital Region Development Authority (AP CRDA) has initiated stern action against illegal layouts in its jurisdiction. The CRDA Town and Country Planning Division has already begun the process of notifying and destroying illegal layouts that have recently mushroomed. Authorities identified a total of 260 illegal layouts. The roads built in them as well as the compound walls around them are being demolished.
“Illegal layouts are detrimental to the government revenue. Many people illegally developing layouts next to the authorised layouts and thus, proving harmful to them as well. The master plan is also being violated by such ventures that do not have proper facilities. Therefore, we have decided to take strict action against such unauthorised layouts,” said AP CRDA Commissioner Vijay Krishnan. However, the move was condemned by the Amravati Capital Region Realtors Association.
