Journalists from various media outlets in Andhra Pradesh have appealed to Chief Minister N.Chandrababu Naidu to expedite the Amaravati housing project for journalists, which has been delayed for years.

At a meeting organized by the Amaravati Journalists Housing Society, representatives highlighted that the previous TDP government had allocated 30 acres of land for the project through G.O.Ms.No.67 (2019), but the land was later reverted to the government after an agreement with CRDA to build multi-storeyed apartments.The government then proposed four categories of apartments based on the HappyNest model.

Despite ongoing construction of HappyNest and other projects in Amaravati, journalists argue that their housing needs should be prioritized, as the state is already allocating resources for other groups like the poor, NRIs, and IAS/IPS officers.The society's director emphasized that journalists, who play a crucial role in public discourse, deserve similar considerations.The demand underscores the broader issue of infrastructure development and the need for equitable resource distribution in the state's capital.
