Works under the AMRUT scheme in Kavali are approaching completion, with officials directed to expedite remaining tasks and ensure the timely utilisation of recently sanctioned funds. The directive followed a review meeting at the Police Guest House in Kavali where Twenty-Point Programme Implementation Committee Chairman Lanka Dinakar instructed officials to fast-track pending works and to make effective use of Rs 228 million (mn) allocated under the Urban Infrastructure Development Fund and additional plan grants. The reporting stated that officials were ordered to prioritise completion milestones and monitor expenditure.

Plans include the reconstruction of an AMRUT pylon that was demolished in 2020, which is being rebuilt on the original site and will be re-inaugurated as a symbolic landmark of the town's development. The structure is expected to be finished within 15 days and will serve as a visible indicator of progress under the scheme. Officials are also coordinating contractors and local authorities to avoid delays.

The AMRUT one point zero project, launched with an outlay of Rs 884.1 mn to address Kavali's drinking water needs, has reached its final stages and work is concentrated on completing distribution and treatment components. Authorities said efforts are underway to secure safe drinking water supply to every household by completing pipeline links, improving treatment capacity and ensuring proper operation and maintenance. Monitoring teams were instructed to test water quality and resolve bottlenecks promptly.

Looking ahead, works under AMRUT two point zero worth Rs 142.6 mn are scheduled to commence in April 2026 with a focus on strengthening water infrastructure in underserved pockets. Dinakar reiterated the government's commitment to providing clean drinking water and accelerating development works in line with public expectations, and urged strict adherence to timelines. Officials were reminded to file periodic progress reports and ensure funds are utilised efficiently.
