Dear "Friends of Chittoor City"

Dear " Friends of Chittoor" . 7 years back in 2009 I started this site as a blog when I started to feel that injustice being done to our Chittoor. That was the time when Facebook was unknown and social media was in nascent stages.

I started this all alone, but later joined by many like minded wellwishers of chittoor like you. This was not started for any commercial purpose or do some funny business. Never did I support any political party or any politician.

I am not the one to get demotivated by silly criticism. I have travelled extensively in India and outside, and always felt that pinch thinking about the state of our Chittoor. Even if no one supports, this site is going to continue.

And for criticizers and demotivators etc, Pls find someone else for your job. If you think what i am doing is just writing in manachittoor.com, u are wrong. I am using all official means to continuously do something in my limits for Chittoor. You can check my posts 3 years back when chittoor corporation proposals were stopped.

Very few dear friends who frequent this site know these things.

So kindly excuse me and let me do my job. 

And for all other friends, this is not for me! Not for you! We are all united for the just cause of Development of Chittoor.

Chittoor Urban Development Authority

Today's andhrajyothi paper has published this news.
If it turns out real, then it will be a major milestone in the development of our Chittoor City.

Now coming to reality part:
1. Andhrajyothi has many times published unverified news in the past regarding chittoor.
2. In recent cabinet meet regarding new urban development authorities, chittoor was never discussed.
3. Above news wrongly states chittoor population according to 2011 census as 153000.
This population is of chittoor municipality. Chittoor corporations population according to 2011 census is 189000 approx and will be around 2.1 lakhs if gd nellore is included.

So, friends wait for good days, but with ur fingers crossed

Power of Social Media

Dear Friends, one of our chittoorean has sent the above pic. He has contacted Divisional railway manager of Guntakal regarding the bad state of station building of Chittoor railway station.

The problem was immediately attended and painting and repairs were immediately done. Dont believe?

Check the before after pictures!

..HAPPY :-) Thanks to Railways and DRM GTL.

Wish to do something for Chittoor?

Friends, have you noticed that Chittoor railway station has got huge potential but is being constantly ignored( which is trademark in all fields for chittoor)

Look at the station building. It is same since British period and looks like a dilapidated school. Even smaller stations in other districts are being beautified but not ours.

Secondly, Katpadi Tirupati doubling will create a trunk line ( electrified double line) from trivandrum to Delhi. And will act as a alternate trunk line. Its only 105 kms but guntakal division is not considering it due to lack of political pressure.

Now railway ministry is listening to common people. What you can do is either tweet to @sureshpprabhu @gmscrailway about the above two problems

Or you can simply SMS to 8121281212. Your spending of 1 rupee for SMS for our chittoor can bring a good change.

Pls share your SMS in comments section. Thanks in advance.

(Here are my sms which I sent this morning:

Sir, the station building and facade of CTO are in dilapidated condition and has been neglected. It needs urgent improvement.

Sir, Tpty-kpd doubling provides an economic and alternate north south rail trunk route. Pls consider it urgently)

Drinking Water Project of Chittoor Scrapped

The Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee has criticised the State government for its decision to scrap the Chittoor drinking water project.

The project was taken up after securing necessary clearances and approvals and the government had spent money on it.
The government should rectify the lapses if any it noticed in implementation of the project rather than unilaterally scrapping it, APCC vice-president S. Sailajanath said.
The previous Congress government had approved the Rs. 7,400 crore project and works were commissioned after selecting the implementing agency through competitive bidding.

The TDP government's decision to set aside the project was meaningless and it owed an explanation to people on the rationale behind cancelling the project, he said.
In spite of his tall claims on the development of Rayalaseema, the Chief Minister had ensured that the region did not get the capital, High Court and other institutions. Cancellation of the drinking water project designed to cater to needs of his native district exposed his real intentions, Dr. Sailajanath said adding that the government should clarify on the charges that the project was cancelled following the insistence of a TDP leader.

The APCC leader criticised the Chief Minister for focussing more on serving his vested interests rather than the interests of the State. The government's admission of irregularities in the sale of sand and other issues was reflective of the state of affairs in the State.

The Chief Minister should at least now focus his attention on the State's requirements including the crucial special category status, he added.

OUR CONDOLENCES ON SAD DEMISE OF CHITTOOR MAYOR

Heavy Rains Lash Chittoor

(Pic Coutersy: Rudra Murthy, Sakshi Media)

After 3 days of heavy downpour on diwali eve, rain god has paid another visit over chittoor. Sunday morning started with showers that continued unabated till late evening.
With met department predicting another 2 days of heavy rains, all tanks in and around chittoor are filled to the brink. Kalavakunta reservoir is almost full and irrigation authorities are watching closely the inflow. The gates might be lifted on Monday evening if same inflow continues.
Though few people are inconvenienced by this rains, most of the population of chittoor are joyous as they have faced severe water scarcity for the past few years. Better preparations by desilting of all the tanks in and around chittoor would have greatly helped in storing more water and thereby increasing ground water levels.

Respite to Chittoor's Water Problem

Recent heavy rains have brought some respite to chittoor's perennial water woes. Ground water level surged in many places of the city and people are hopefull that atleast for the next 6 months, the water scarcity might not be felt .
With NTR jalasayam fast filling up, corporation officials are getting ready to pump this water to the city.
PS: NTR Jalasayam is in very poor state of maintainence. Entire project area is covered by thorn bushes and supply channels have become very narrow. Periodical maintainence can do great wonders to this project and also help serve as a picnic spot

HAPPY DEEPAWALI TO ALL CHITTOREANS

One step from your side

OLD BUSSTAND SHIFTING BEGINS

CHITTOOR IS INVISIBLE TO CM

1. Check the attached news item. CM promises direct roads from all rayalaseema districts to Amaravati.

2. Conveniently Chittoor is left out.

3. Chittoor is the farthest from Amaravati compared to other dist hqrs of Rayalaseema.

4. Only because there is growing dissent in rayalaseema after capital city  foundation, these plans are being announced. Even then chittoor is being ignored completely.

5. If in case something is discussed regarding chittoor district. CMs mind gets focussed on only Yerpedu and kuppam regions. Southern and western parts of the district are in complete neglect.

Manachittoor heart fully wishes BMR industries.

CHITTOOR GOVT HOSPITAL Leased to APOLLO For 5 Years

Today government has agreed to hand over the GH, Chittoor to Apollo group for a period of 5 years. This proposal has received some criticism from few people, especially one political group.

But, come on guys. Check the attached picture. This has been the state of entrance board for the past 10 years. All the hospital wards smell of urine, no beds are provided to pts except iron cots( that too shared by two patients at a time), no specialists available. It just feels and looks like an animal centre. Even small delivery cases and minor surgeries are turned away asking pts to go to vellore or Tirupati. Now at least things will change.

The Committee has recommended the following points for Apollo to implement:

(1)Apollo will create good ambience by landscaping the vacant areas, improving the elevation of the building and providing drainages and water supply to all the buildings in the hospital.

(2)Acute Medical care units, Intensive Care Units and Casualty Department have to be strengthened by creating new ICUs and equipping them well as very few ICU facilities are available presently.

(3) Establishment of state of the art Operation Theatre complex with at least 06 operating rooms, having all facilities for various surgical procedures.

(4) (5) (6): Strengthening of Trauma Care Services by providing additional facilities for Neurosurgery, Intensive Care, critical care and reconstructive surgery.
Provision and maintenance of Haemodialysis with around 10 machines.
Strengthening of wards of existing broad specialists like General Surgery, General Medicine, Orthopaedics, ENT, Ophthalmology and Obstetrics and Gynaecology, by providing good cots, bedside lockers etc.,

(7) Separate Operation Theatres and Labour Rooms have to be provided for Obstetrics and Gynaecology department.

(8)Strengthening of Diagnostic Services by installing digital x-ray machines CT Scan, MRI, high end Color Doppler and Mammography Units in a Centralized location.

(9) A central casualty department with good number of beds and equipment for acute and intensive care as to be provided in the OPD block.

(10) An OPD block accommodating nearly 1500 out patients and having facilities for computerized registration and recording has to be developed.

MOST IMPORTANT: All services so provided by the hospital should be made available free of cost to the public.
ALL the new facilities and equipment will be given to Govt Hospital only,  after completion of 5 year lease period.

My Take: If left in the present state, this Chittoor Govt Hospital will never change even in next 25 years. At least by this lease method all the equipment and facilities will be provided and chittoor people will get much needed emergency and speciality health care in Chittoor itself.

Chittoor Gets Largest Convention Centre in Pvt Sector

One of the largest convention centres in pvt sector in rayalaseema region in AP is ready to be inagurated soon on the Puttur Road- Industrial Estate in Chittoor City. This centre with two large halls and associated facilities can cater to the needs of chittoor city and surrounding places.
(This is one of the benefits of having wide roads with ample parking. Recent 4 landing of Chittoor-Puttur road up to Thana has greatly increased construction activities including commercial and residential)

సబ్జెక్టు బానే ఉంది కానీ ప్రభుత్వం ఏమైనా చేసిందా?

RVS Medical College awaiting MCI approval

SV group of institutions situated in RVS Nagar received AP govt approval and NTR health university affiliation to start medical college. They are recruiting doctors to get MCI approval.

One contesting factor is Apollo is also gearing up to start medical college in murukambattu which is hardly 4 kms from RVS. For this purpose they have already got an MOU with state govt to lease District Hospital for 3 years. But will MCI permit 2 medical colleges in 4 kms radius?

If done our Chittoor hopefully gets two medical colleges by April 2016.

A touching Story of CHITTOOR

A middle aged man used to live in a house. When the house was newly built, it was one of the good looking ones in that colony with trees surrounding it etc etc. The man used to live happily in that house with his wife.

Over the period his wife gave birth to 4 children. Now the family size increased but the husband who had a small job never concentrated on improving his house or even repairing it. When the children were grown up they pestered father for separate rooms or build another floor over their house, but father never bothered...The sorrounding colony and other houses changed a lot over this period, but this particular house remained as it was with faded walls, leaking roof and cracks on the walls...

The colony president, looking at the pathetic state of this house called the father and told him that colony members decided to contribute to repair the house.Colony president asked the father for proposals for this purpose..

Now the most funny, hilarious part...do u know what father asked??? Split Ac for all the rooms. Fountain for the garden. Hot water tub for bath room..(he isn't bothered about cracks in the walls, falling compound wall, leaking roof or fading paints. But demanded luxuries)...

This is the fate of our chittoor. The house itself is our Chittoor. The father is our municipal body. Colony president is the govt. Now read this story again and u will understand...

MP Has NO TIME for Chittoor

Yesterday South Central Railway GM Mr. Srivatsava has organised a meeting with MPs to find out the demands of their constituencies so that railway board can take action.

Our beloved MP who never has any time for Chittoor didn't attend this important meeting but sent a letter..

In this letter he demands RO Bridges at 3 places. These bridges Railway is delaying because it argues that once four laning I done bridges can simultaneously be built. ..

His main demand should have been doubling the line and new train to Chennai.
