Chandrababu Naidu says Vijayawada as AP Capital

Chandrababu Naidu government has decided to build a new capital of Andhra Pradesh around Vijayawada. On Monday the Andhra Pradesh cabinet after five hours of discussions came to a conclusion to build the new capital of AP around Vijayawada city.

Sivaramakrishnan Committee on the capital have been rejected and Chandrababu told ministers that on Tuesday he will make a formal announcement in assembly and after that the government will convey the same to the Centre.

Chandrababu is planning to develop three mega cities and other small cities around the capital. There is little bit confusion among the members of the cabinet as they don’t have exact idea where the capital is located at. Some says the capital is in Vijayawada, some say the capital will be located between Vijayawada and Guntur as announced by Mr Naidu before and few others say it's Nuzivid.

The Andhra Pradesh cabinet planned out a sub-committee as Vijayawada has "insufficient" government lands and cabinet is in a plan to buy the land from farmers and landowner in the ratio 60:40.

The sub-committee includes Finance Minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister P. Narayana, Labour & Employment Minister Atchannaidu, Irrigation Minister Devineni Uma and Agriculture Minister Prathipati Pulla Rao. Deputy CM K.E. Krishna Murthy apparently expressed his unwillingness to be part of the subcommittee.

Missing plane MH370: Tony Abbott is Confident about the Black Box Signals

On Friday Tony Abbott the Australian Prime Minister said that he is very certain that the latest signals they received are from black box on board missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370.

On an official visit to Shanghai the Australian Prime Minister spoke with the reports and stated that, according to Reuters “We have very much narrowed down the search area and we are very confident that the signals that we are detecting are from the black box on MH370,”

The plan has been missed on March 8^th and the Malaysian missing plane is carrying about 227 passengers and 12 crew members including 5 passengers are under age 5. It is boarding with 13 nationalities with 154 Chinese/Taiwanese, Malaysia (38), India (5), United States, Indonesia, Australia (3) and each from France, New Zealand, Ukraine, Canada, Russia, Italy, Austria and the Netherlands. It has been more than a month of searching for the Boeing 77.

Once they recover the black box which records and stores the complete flight data, then it would be so helpful in finding out what went wrong in board MH370. According to the investigations of the Malaysian officials they consider that on board transmitters had been manually disconnected and the plane had been diverted wide off course, before tracking far south to the Indian Ocean off the coast of Australia and falling into some of the world's most remote waters.

They are in a chase of recovering the black box which is beneath the ocean bed and it is around several thousand feet depth.  Experts stated that the black box batteries are equipped with underwater beacons and 30 days is there lasting period generally and their rescuers are already on borrowed time.

In the recent weeks more than 100 aircraft and vessels are searching in the Indian Ocean and the narrowing of the search area to a smaller 600 square kilometers has led to suggestions that a breakthrough may finally be at hand.

Greg Waldron, an aviation expert at Flight Global, said the latest “pings” detected were consistent with that from flight recorders. “The news seems to be very positive,” he told China's State broadcaster CCTV on Friday, speaking shortly after Mr. Abbott's comments. “This is probably the best lead we have had in the search for quite a while”.
