Latest developments in chittoor

1. CMC director suranjan bhattacharjee has met AP CM Rosaiah during his recent visit to tirupati and requested him to attend the foundation laying ceremony of new CMC hospital at chittoor. my sources at CMC vellore informed me that now they are going to start a 50 bedded hospital only. The others plans of medical and allied colleges are not touched as of now. I don't know how many months or years more should chittoor wait for a medical college.

2.Tenders were issued for technical feasibility of 4 laning the Nh4 from ranipet to nangali via Chittoor. Surprisingly this is the second time tenders have been called for same purpose, the first one being called in October 2008 by ministry of road transport and highways (MORTH) . I wonder if just the technical feasibility and viability study is taking so long then when exactly the road work will start. I also don't understand why this work is taken up by MORTH instead of NHAI. lots and lots of dicrimination huhhhhh.

3.Indian oil corporation has called for the tenders for setting up of a bulk modern storage terminal at chittoor for the ongoing Chennai-Chittoor-Bangalore oil pipeline. This storage and distribution terminal will cater the needs of sorrounding kolar, chikballapur, kadapa and Nellore districts in addition to Tirupati. Atleast one project is getting acomplished.
