Basaveswararao Vishnumolakala

Dear Sirs
I am putting this with my 47 years of construction of various projects and
travel in more than 20 countries(East and West)

OUR ANDHRA NEW CAPITAL (Please share this)

I personally hope you are all struggling for land for “CAPITAL OF ANDHRA”.
It is here, Right in front of your vicinity and centre place in Andhra .
My dear Rayala seema Leaders please think once. If capital is in Kurnool, it is one side.
If it is in Vizag or Ongole again it is another side. I want to suggest right in centre of
Andhra i.e. VIJAYAWADA.
Why Vijayawada, please read the trailing document. You may ask where the land is for this.
That is question.
Dear Friends you know Krishna River is flowing right in the middle of Vijayawada and 3 canals
are through Vijayawada. The water in Krishna River is there hardly for 1 / 2 months in a year.
That too only in rainy season. No matter. Rest 10 / 11 months no water except gates of
Dam leaking water.
Now for the land Right in the middle of River i.e. in Delta area Thousands of hectors of land
is available. Since the Vijayawada level from sea is 12 Mts height. The water never comes in
from sea. If you take Geographical phenomena in the world so many cities are built in middle
of water. So, construction of Building for Capital in this delta land is most suitable if the Buildings
are designed for flood resistance. This capital will be “UNIC” in Design and “UNIC” in the world.
Japan Built an Air Port in the sea. If you see most of European cities are in the water or side of
water. Think Sidney tower where it is right in middle of water. So, let us also sea our capital from
space as unic. Let us design a Memorable and “Eighth Wonder of world” as Capital and not as
normal Buildings

How Vijayawada is desirable capital look once the trailing History.

VIJAYAWADA
Vijayawada, formerly known as Bezawada, with a population of nearly 1 million, is the third largest
in Andhra Pradesh (India). Located in Krishna District, the city is on the northern bank of the river
Krishna, at a distance of 275 km from Hyderabad. Vijayawada literally translates to "The Place of
Victory" in the local language which is Telugu. Its prominence as a major trading and business center
has earned it the title of the “Business” Capital of Andhra Pradesh”. Vijayawada is also a major
agricultural hub of the state due to its rich hinter-lands in the Krishna Basin. Major irrigation canals
from the river Krishna and major power projects such as the Vijayawada Thermal Power Station
(VTPS) and Lanco Kondapalli Thermal Power Station make Vijayawada an important economic
hub of Andhra Pradesh. The Vijayawada city is having an area of about 261.88 km2 with a
