Plans are ready to set up an international cricket stadium in Vijayawada. Chief Minister has reviewed the plan and approved, according to Krishna District Collector Babu A.

The new international cricket stadium would be coming up beside NTR Health University. There is a empty space which is in the handover of AP Discom. Also the nearby places would be collected and the stadium would come up here. A total of around 6 acres is needed to construct an international stadium

Right now this empty space is given to construct "Pushkar Nagar" for Krishna pushkarams. After Krishna Pushkarams, the foundation would be laid and the works related to the construction would start.

There is already one stadium, Indira Gandhi Municipal Stadium in Vijayawada. But due to several issues, international matches are not coming here. One International Cricket Stadium is already being in construction in Mangalagiri. Also another stadium is also going to start in Mulapadu.

Andhra Pradesh secretariat construction is started on February 17th, and it is 100 days now. Two of the leading firms — L&T and Shapoorji Pallonji— which have bagged the bids for construction of the Secretariat complex, with a total project cost of Rs.201 crores. The Government of Andhra Pradesh has given a deadline for the two firms to complete the construction by June 15. The complex would be divided into six blocks housing various departments, including the Chief Minister’s Office.

With the deadline coming nearer, here is the status of the buildings. For majority of the blocks, walls construction is going on. Electrical, Plumbing and carpenter works will be started next week. Within 10 days, the electrical and plumbing works would be done

First Block: Ground Floor slab is completed and the walls construction is going on. The First floor slab would be done in 2-3 days and the walls construction would be completed within 10 days.

Second Block: Two floors slab is done and walls construction is going on, which would be completed shortly

Sixth Block: This block construction is started recently. Piles have been dug and pillars would be laid shortly. The slab of this building is expected to be completed by June end.

Here is yet an another exiting thing to cheer up for secretariat employees coming from Hyderabad. Few days back, they have asked for bachelor accommodation, as they will work only 5 days a week and go to meet their families in Hyderabad in the weekends. Now, new hostels have come up, in the capital regions, with a walkable distance near secretariat buildings. Not only the distance, but the cost of the accommodation will excite more.

A new hostel is opened, which is already serving some employees who are working in the secretariat construction. This can accommodate upto 350 people. This facility is at Mandadam, adjacent to Velagapudi. They not only provide accommodation, but they also serve food.

The cost of sharing rooms with four to six members is around Rs 2,500 per head and with food Rs 6,000 per head. They are also offering air-conditioned accommodation for Rs 7,500 with food and Rs 3,500.

If the employees want to share only with three members, the cost would be bared proportionately and it would cost Rs.10000 with food.

Many other similar hostels are coming up in the nearby villages, and these would be ready by next month end.
