E-auction of lands in city draws flak

Monetisation of public land is not a good idea, says CPI(M)

The e-auction of lands in Visakhapatnam by National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC) under the Mission Build A.P. of the State government, has drawn flak from various sections. Among other land parcels, the auction of 13.59 acres on Beach Road has drawn maximum criticism, as it is same land that was given to the Lulu group by the earlier TDP government and was later taken back by the YSR Congress Party government, after they had come to power in 2019.
