Magunta Seeks Approval for ₹21-Cr Coastal Road
A politician named Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy asked the government for permission to build a 21-km road along the coast.
This road would help fishermen who have trouble getting around because there are no good roads.
It would also help tourists visit the area and make it easier to move things during emergencies.
The road is part of a bigger plan called the Sagarmala Programme, which aims to improve places near the coast.
The politician sent letters to other important people to make sure they support this idea.
Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy seeks approval for a 21-km coastal road from Gundamala to Madanuru.
The project is estimated to cost ₹21 crore under the Sagarmala Programme.
The road aims to improve connectivity for fishermen and provide access to the Kothapatnam Fishing Harbour.
The project is expected to support local tourism, strengthen the coastal economy, and aid in emergency mobility.
Copies of the request have been sent to the Andhra Pradesh Maritime Board and the commissioner of fisheries for follow-up.
