Vijayawada
G. V. Ramana Rao
PROTECTION: The Eluru Canal bund is reduced to a dumpyard on the Government Hospital Road. .
VIJAYAWADA: The 19th division is in the heart of the two-town area with several important government institutions like the Government General Hospital, the Mandal Revenue Office, the District Jail, the Sub-registrars office, the sub-treasury and a major part of the Vijayawada railway station being located in it. Spanning from the Tummalapalli Kalakshetram to Kothavanthena along the Ryve's Canal the division extends up to the C.K.Reddy Road on the other side of the Eluru Canal. A number of cinema theatres, business establishments, lodges, restaurants, shops and shelters for streetchildren located in the division make it a very busy neighbourhood attracting a large floating population from other parts of the city. While the main streets are lined with business establishments, lanes and bylanes are lined with houses. There are 11,000 voters amongst the 4,000 families living in the division. Most families belong to the forward castes with the number of SCs, BCs and minorities being limited to a couple of hundred. The division can be considered well developed with good water supply and underground drainage facilities. Roads in the division are also 100 per cent developed with all the main streets black-topped and the internal lanes laid with reinforced cement concrete (RCC). The division could be developed in a big way by the relocation of hundreds of families from the slums along the bunds of Ryve's and Eluru canals. By evicting encroachers living on canal bunds, the Municipal Corporation created for itself valuable assets in the form of prime land that could be leased out for commercial activity.
The Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga Park was leased out to a private party for commercial use.
