Amaravati, Dec 26 (PTI) Andhra Pradesh Municipal Minister P Narayana inaugurated the raft foundation works for the new High Court building in the greenfield capital city here.

According to Narayana, court halls will be located on the second, fourth and sixth floors, while the Chief Justice’s court will be situated on the eighth floor.

The Municipal Minister said the target is to complete the High Court construction by the end of 2027.
