The Andhra Pradesh Government has notified 700 acres under land pooling for the development of the Amaravati core capital development.

The notified area comes under 10 villages of Thullur mandal of Guntur district of the State.

While the State Government has entrusted the task of pooling 33,000 acres in the Guntur district to the Capital Area Region Development Authority, so far farmers have given consent for land pooling for about 31,000 acres, the Government has announced.

For the rest, the Government is considering land acquisition process which is being opposed by political parties.

The rest of the villages and land required will be notified in the second phase on Saturday.

The phase one notification of 700 acres works out to just about 2 per cent of the total land pooled for the capital development.

The State Government has secured detailed plans for the Capital City development from the Singapore based designers and is currently fine-tuning the designs.

The foundation stone for the capital city is proposed to be laid on October 22.
