The YSR Congress party government might have postponed its decision to shift the executive capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam for the time being, but the authorities have already been making arrangements for running the administration from the port city.
According to highly placed sources, the officials have already identified the northern blocks of Andhra University located towards Maddilapalem junction on the national highway as the probable secretariat complex and other administrative blocks.
“There are several buildings belonging to Andhra University Engineering College wing which are not being used effectively. Besides, there is a huge conference hall that can accommodate 1500 people. The entire complex also has a huge ground that can be used for vehicle parking,” sources said.
Since it is a huge campus, the shifting of secretariat to this place will not affect the academic atmosphere of the university at all. Since it is closer to the national highway, it will have easy access to the planned capital city towards Viziangaram, including the airport.
“At the same time, it is also closer to the beach road where the chief minister’s camp office and other official complexes will come up,” the sources said.
