Andhra Cabinet Urges Centre to Name Amaravati Official Capital
The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet, led by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, has approved a proposal to urge the Union government to amend the State Reorganisation Act, 2014, to officially designate Amaravati as the state capital.

If approved, the amendment to the State Reorganisation Act, 2014, would officially designate Amaravati as the capital of Andhra Pradesh, bringing an end to the controversy surrounding the capital city.
The decision to approve the proposal has been welcomed by various stakeholders, including the people of Andhra Pradesh, politicians, and business leaders. The people of Andhra Pradesh have been eagerly waiting for the official designation of Amaravati as the capital, and the approval of the proposal has brought a sense of relief and hope to the state.
