Farmers and residents from the Amaravati Capital Region recently submitted petitions during a Grievance Day programme organised at the headquarters of the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority in Rayapudi. A total of 23 complaints were recorded, most of them related to land matters, including issues concerning returnable plots and land pooling. APCRDA Commissioner K.

Officials at the headquarters of the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority in Rayapudi recently held a Grievance Day programme to hear concerns raised by farmers and agricultural labourers from the Amaravati Capital Region. Residents submitted several petitions related to land administration, including requests for re-allotment of returnable plots, issues linked to the land pooling system and other administrative matters.


The petitions were received by APCRDA Commissioner K. Kannababu along with Additional Commissioner A. Bhargava Teja. During the interaction, the commissioner informed petitioners that the authority would examine each grievance and take steps to address them at the earliest after reviewing the details submitted.

Officials also informed residents that the Grievance Day programme would continue every Saturday between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM at the APCRDA headquarters in Rayapudi. The authority further clarified that the Citizen Grievance Centre at the CRDA headquarters would receive petitions from farmers and residents during office working hours on all working days. Farmers and landowners were encouraged to approach the centre and submit their concerns so that they could be reviewed by the relevant departments.

A total of 23 grievances were registered during the programme. Out of these, 16 complaints were related to land matters in Amaravati, including issues connected with returnable plots under the land pooling system. Five grievances were associated with social welfare matters. One petition related to development promotion activities in the capital region, while another was linked to planning-related concerns.

The grievance redressal programme was attended by several senior officials of the authority and related departments. Those present included Engineer-in-Chief R. Gopalakrishna Reddy, Group Director (Social Welfare) V. Ramulu, Deputy Collector and GRM Nodal Officer P. Jayasri, Joint Director (Estates) Jubin Roy and Director Lands (Capital City) N. Vasantha Rayudu.

Other officials present included Deputy Director (Survey) Panduranga Ramakrishnan, Director (Planning) B. Suresh Kumar, Director (Development Promotion) V. Sunitha, Additional Director (IT) Kushwanth and Additional Director (Planning) K. Gopinath.

The meeting was also attended by Special Deputy Collectors K. S. Bhagyarekha, P. Padmavathi, A. G. Chinni Krishna, G. Ravinder and B. Sai Srinivasa Naik, along with several tahsildars and administrative staff who were present to record and review the petitions.

The Amaravati capital development project has been closely linked with the land pooling scheme introduced by the state government, under which farmers voluntarily contributed agricultural land in return for developed plots and infrastructure. Over the years, issues such as plot allotment, land records and welfare benefits have continued to be raised by landowners, leading authorities to organise regular grievance redressal meetings to review pending matters and resolve administrative concerns.
