N Chandrababu Naidu Orders Restoration of Scrapped Projects in Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has instructed officials to revive all halted and cancelled projects initiated by the previous TDP government. He accused the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP government of intentionally derailing these initiatives. The CM called for speedy completion of ports, harbors, and the creation of a new Maritime Masterplan.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Tuesday directed officials to restore all the stalled and scrapped projects started by the erstwhile TDP government between 2014 and 2019, which were halted by the previous YSRCP government.

Naidu stated that the previous TDP administration had initiated numerous 'prestigious' projects, claiming that the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government had vengefully disrupted them.

'Get all the projects scrapped and stalled by the last government (YSRCP) back on track,' Naidu urged during a review meeting at the Secretariat.

According to the TDP leader, the YSRCP government had 'destroyed' wealth-creating projects and tasked officials with restoring and completing them promptly.

He instructed officials to advance various special purpose vehicles (SPVs) related to the Andhra Pradesh Maritime Board, Andhra Pradesh Maritime Infrastructure Development Corporation, and the Andhra Pradesh Inland Waterways Authority.

Naidu called for the swift completion of all ports and fishing harbors with an emphasis on avoiding controversy.

Furthermore, he announced plans for a new Andhra Pradesh Maritime Masterplan and a fresh maritime policy.

The CM also directed officials to pursue the construction of airports and airstrips at Dagadarthi in Nellore district, Kuppam (Chittoor), and Nagarjunasagar (Palnadu), including the airport at Mulapeta (Srikakulam).
