Andhra Approves Rs 27 Cr for Bhogapuram Airport Restoration
The Andhra Pradesh government has given Rs 27 crore to fix four rainwater outlets at the Bhogapuram International Airport, which is still being built.
These outlets need to be cleaned and improved so that water can flow properly and not get stuck.
The money is coming from a big loan, and the work will be done by a special department.
The airport is expected to open in August 2026.
The plan also includes using some of the rainwater for other purposes, like watering plants or filling up underground water stores.
Andhra Pradesh government approved Rs 27 crore for restoring four rainwater outlets at Bhogapuram International Airport.
The outlets, OT1, OT2, OT4, and OT5, require immediate restoration and desilting.
