Baburao Naidu said on Monday. The urban development authority would look at maximizing its revenues from its assets like parks, apart from one-time fees paid for approval of layouts, the Vice-Chairman said in Visakhapatnam on Monday at his first media interaction after taking charge. A detailed analysis would be carried out on the VUDA assets and gaps identified for maximizing the revenue, Mr. Naidu said. Focus will be on resource mobilisation and completing around 10 of the ongoing 27 major projects, Mr. Naidu said. He would hold an interdepartmental coordination meeting every Monday and a meeting with VUDA’s engineering officials on Saturday to expedite various works, including Harita and the Master Plan roads. The land of VUDA would be surveyed and geo-tagging taken up to protect them. Inventory of VUDA properties will be prepare. For early disposal of files and to prevent files going missing, their movement would be monitored. Recalling that a long-standing land dispute involving tribal and non-tribals was settled in Polavaram during his stint as Joint Collector in West Godavari, Mr. Naidu said he would give priority to field-based work rather than being office-bound. Answering questions, he said decision has been taken to allot housing plots on draw of lots ending the process of auction that attracted much criticism was that of VUDA Board. The list of approved layouts would be displayed and kept online to help prospective buyers make a good choice.
