Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Orders to Halt Works in Amaravati: Reports:- A day after taking oath as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS Jaganmohan Reddy has asked the Chief Secretary to halt all the engineering works across the state owing to the financial burden.

According to reports, Jagan also ordered for the halt of all the works in the capital region.

The Telugu Desam Party, which ruled AP government for 5 years, has put tender for Rs 45000 crore of works in the capital region, putting severe pressure on the state's treasury.
