These departments will operate from Medha towers for the next 3-4 years till permanent structures are built in the permanent capital.
Already two AP ministers, Irrigation Minister Devineni Uma and Health Minister Kamineni Srinivas shifted their office to Vijayawada. It is known that Chandra Babu Naidu has decided that all the departments which do not need to be operated from Hyderabad should be located to Vijayawada, the temporary capital.
