The Joint Action Committee (JAC) representing Amaravati has served formal notices to district collectors across Andhra Pradesh, signalling heightened pressure over the capital region issue.
The Joint Action Committee (JAC) of Amaravati has formally served notices to district collectors in several districts of Andhra Pradesh. The notices, dispatched on official letterhead, call for immediate action on matters related to the development and administration of the Amaravati capital region. JAC officials said the step is intended to ensure compliance with the committee’s demands and to highlight perceived delays by the state machinery.
The move comes amid ongoing debates over the status and future of Amaravati, which was designated as the state capital before the current government proposed a three‑city model. By targeting district collectors, JAC aims to pressure the administrative hierarchy that implements state policies on the ground.
State authorities have not yet issued a public response to the notices. Observers note that such direct engagement with senior bureaucrats underscores the intensifying friction between the Amaravati advocacy groups and the state administration.
