Industries and Commerce Minister TG Bharath said that Camps B and C in the heart of Kurnool town are best suited for Supreme Court benches.
Mr. Bharath, who surveyed the development works in the Kurnool Municipal Corporation (KMC) limits, said he submitted the proposal to Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu during their recent foreign visit. Mr. Naidu recently visited the UAE to attract investors to the state and Mr. Bharath was part of the delegation.
Mr. Bharath said the government was interested in developing Kurnool and was in favor of setting up a High Court bench in the city. He said 160 acres of land is available in the B and C camp area. He said that the value of an acre of land in this area is around ₹100 crore and the land can be effectively used for the development of the city. Mr. Bharath further said that B and C camp plots can also be allotted for Smart City projects.
The state government had earlier identified land and buildings, including vacant government land at Jagannathagatt on the outskirts of the city, for the Supreme Court bench. A proposal was made to evict people living in camps B and C.
