APPENDIX

NOTIFICATION

 

Visakhapatnam is the second largest city in State of Andhra Pradesh, a sprawling industrial city and one of the fast emerging metropolises. The large-scale expansion of Visakhapatnam and its suburbs began since 1970 with the setting up of the Visakhapatanm Steel Plant at Gajuwaka and the townships development undertaken by Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority. The trend of population expansion and growth is more pronounced along the National Highway-5, viz., towards Gajuwaka on the west and Madhurwada on the East.  With the establishment of various industries, Gangavaram Port and SEZ towards the west of Visakhapatnam the urban spread of Visakhapatnam is increasing in a linear pattern.

The rapid pace of development and growth in and around Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation and Gajuwaka Municipality are posing severe strain on the physical infrastructure facilities and services and creating problem of effective management and administration in view of multiplicity of local bodies.

 

Hence, considering all the above, and with a view (i) to provide better civic services; (ii) better administrative mechanism; (iii) ensure better planning and focussed development in and around Visakhapatnam; (iv) more equitable devolution of finances and utilization of  resources; (v) ensure uniform enforcement; and  (vi) to make the Visakhapatnam and its suburbs internationally competitive with world class infrastructure and services,  the Government have provisionally decided to expand the limits of Visakhpatnam Municipal Corporation by merging  Gajuwaka Municipality and  surrounding 32 Gram Panchayats located around Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation.

 

Hence, it is proposed to include the Gajuwaka Municipality and 32 Grampanchayats located around the Visakhapatnam in the limits of Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. The details are as follows:
