Tesla had its eyes on
#Vizag
as they wanted east Asia markets access from a port - hope this could on d be facilitated by the state and central governments
Bhogapuram airport was conceived as leading hub for eastern India, not only for passenger movement but for ancillaries and cargo ( export/import) - hope that materializes to relish the potential of AP and other states around
@RamMNK
- it could be a potential hub
Vizag is surrounded by hills ; it has to have tunnels to expand in a balanced way to allow urban sprawl - time for
@GVMC_VISAKHA
to think starting from the tunnel from Seetammadhara to Ariliva med zone and further through Kambalakonda reserve to sontyam /neelakundilu
Cities are gearing up on infrastructure;especially Flyovers -
#Vizag
is lagging behind with 3000 vehicles coming into city every month;time for
@GVMC_VISAKHA
to initiate action on 4 flyovers before it is late -city will choke soon ! Chennai is my ch advanced in thinking ; example
#Vizag
desperately needs flyovers at critical junctions with 3,000 vehicles registered every month & will encourage investments , promote tourism and ease citizens lives - this will not cost much
@GVMC_VISAKHA
- not sure why there is inertia - beach road alone in not indication
#vizag
is an exception - as told by one one of the group I know from Hongkong who visited Delhi , Mumbai , Bangalore abd Vizag - they say Vizag’s is cleanest in india
@GVMC_VISAKHA
@SwachhBharatGov
Trawler companies at
#Vizag
are ready to invest in small time dinner boats/ cruises from coastal battery to rushikonda ! Hope
@Tourism_AP
@RojaSelvamaniRK
@GVMC_VISAKHA
@vptIndia
could facilitate-no cost for govt ; promotes tourism-entertainment for Vizagites ,generates revenue
#vizag
hills along the beach road have witnessed development over the years ; kailashgiri;bay park hotel / Pema wellness Centre on hill1 , Venkateswara temple at next hill, cottages at RUSHIKONDA , IT infra on ( hill 3,4&5 ) Ramanadu studio on hill 6 - possible Biopark on hill 7
Are we missing a point on Buddhist circuit in and around
#Vizag
@Tourism_AP
? - there could be a reason why they lived and constructed structures around vizag - time to reinstate heritage abd link them to Buddhist tourist circuit - a rare heritage !
Surprisingly , real estate value has gone up at
#Vizag
- not able to read the trend on why this happened as it was anticipated it will slide after election results ! Vizag needs 3-4 flyovers immediately!
Time to think of 50+ storied buildings at vizag - to effectively use space and such buildings could have recreational and green facilities -
@GVMC_VISAKHA
; place and space will be soon a premium at
#Vizag
Sailed ship at tenneti park
#Vizag
now owned by Gill marines, taking time to be converted as floating entertainment platform - meanwhile some film shootings were permitted -
@GVMC_VISAKHA
@Tourism_AP
can also lend the place for birthday parties and receptions to generate revenue
Hopefully , for the G20 summit sessions at
#Vizag
,
@RojaSelvamaniRK
@Tourism_AP
could start Ho Ho buses to show case AP and vizag - a opportunity will be missed ( low budget and high impact projects )
Often we forget heritage ;
#Vizag
has got great memories of ritual heritage - there are many - two of them ; the Rani Chandramani palace ( donated for prosthetics hospital ) at Peda Waltair and Daspalla palace situated adjoining the Daspalla hotel
@Tourism_AP
Talks at anvil to make Rushi konda resort as a state guest house + tourism ministry office , as present govt want invite investors to AP … any further news
#vizag
Finally,
#Vizag
merchandise is picking up -
@Tourism_AP
@GVMC_VISAKHA
@vizagzoo_igzp
should encourage Vizag merchandise to promote vizag tourism and the city ! It is private sector which took some initiative ! Hope innovation and ideas could flow into it !
2000 years old legacy of Buddhism at totlakonda at
#Vizag
- hope some shelter and refreshments/water is made available
@Tourism_AP
@APInfraStory
- hopefully , the glory will be restored !
Have seen tweets on
#Vizag
metro but all looks old news , don’t think there is any fresh contemplation , unless something moved in weeks time ! Essential, to move , a metro will require 5-7 years build up time - vizag traffic chokes !
Two of my favourite places at
#Vizag
- whispering rock near the zoo and Pitta Konda at gangavaram & have been part of life as we grew - secrets shared , gossips revealed , solutions found & friendships strengthened
Every brick that was planned for
#Vizag
in the last 10 years is resisted - be it Eros city , Volkswagen factory to malls, lakes , view points , hills and the sea - yet Vizag grows organically and people love it despite odds
@manoj_naandi
Resonating with you from
#Vizag
- Ross hills was and is a symbol of harmony at vizag - with temple , mosque and church at the same place & and stand as a gateway for vizag
Is anybody aware the status of
@APTDCofficial
hotels @ cottages that were constructed six years back and could not open till date near Radisson Blu hotel at
#Vizag
@sudeer1972
?
Mermaids and Dolphins are so integrated into the lore of
#Vizag
- we find them everywhere ; so much so that GMR considered a dolphin / fish in the sea for the design of bhogapuram airport - not sure though why this obsession ?!?
Some heros don’t wear capes ; but proud of these heroes at
@GVMC_VISAKHA
who strive hard to keep
#Vizag
clean and it is not an easy job ; our hats off to them and they need to be recognised !
Few structures remain intrigue at
#Vizag
, the structure at fishing harbour keeps fascinating and captured by many vizag handles , but never knew the purpose of this small bay/ structure , despite being captured in most frames ( attributed)
Luckily
#Vizag
has so much of lung space in greenery to keep up the quality of air;so many protected forests,which should not be touched as urban sprawl continues;especially kambalakonda reserved forest ,could be better than Delhi ridge despite urbanisation
@sudeer1972
@flyVizag
This structure at Araku
#Vizag
always intrigued me ; some say it is haunted , while some other camp near to look at the stars in the night / whatever, a beautiful facade with backdrop of Araku
@manoj_naandi
@APInfraStory
@Tourism_AP
Mornings are always pleasant at
#Vizag
as sun dawns in different shades ! now a days people are using many spots across 22 km stretch of beach road instead of traditional RK-YMCA stretch
The two statues at
#Vizag
many of us like most , which were there for years , but need to lighted up properly
@GVMC_VISAKHA
- Hercules at Jagadamba centre and prowling tiger at siripuram junction - lightens up these junctions
Sad to see the state of mini Taj Mahal of
#Vizag
kurupam rani tomb - a marvellous tribute , once illuminated&declared as a heritage,but was contested later as private property - whatever, tomb should not be demolished for personal gains
Ropeway from
@vizagzoo_igzp
to kambalkonda #
#Vizag
will triple zoo income as well natural reserve -government do not need to invest anything as the kolkota operator of ropeway at kailashgiri is ready to invest - ministry of forest need to be proactive to facilitate
@PawanKalyan
Morning walks /jogs and cycling have picked up big time at
#vizag
- for those raising little late, the walk under canopies at health arena ( foothills of Kailashgiri) is a solace - a remedy to escape sun - the place is having exotic trees though not labelled !
Finally, cruise terminal at
#Vizag
is getting operational ! A moment if prude from vizag
@vptIndia
Cruise terminal will be operational by March
Download the TOI app now:
beach stretch from
#vizag
have many sea slugs - they r beautiful,also some of them could be poisonous- such rich biodiversity - EastCoastConse1 along with WildEd conducts intertidal walks to explore marine life if one want to join (WildEd also conducts nocturnal walks at hills)
Many gems and sacred anodes are hidden in and around
#Vizag
hills ! One such place is Kalabhairava temple ! It has such serenity tugged into it , most villages have immense belief on the diety, which is said to be quite ancient !
Hues during the morning walks at
#Vizag
are always refreshing - very few cities in india have combination of hills, sea and greenery ! My clicked today morning !
Sea piers in and around
#Vizag
are a treat to watch, and relax ; some of them are abandoned; hope
@Tourism_AP
could restore them as tourist spots - these spots are often explored by tourists but with limited access - great potential !!
Reiterating the request to start hop on hop off buses at
#vizag
frm coastal battery to bheemli to benefit tourists/commuters
@Tourism_AP
@RojaSelvamaniRK
- cheaper option ( given the fact 1000’s buses / vans were started in AP fir diverse purposes - a six Ho Ho buses cost little
I hope
#Vizag
to araku / Lambasinghi road will be like Manali-atal road or Mumbai to khandala roads ! Lambasingi is already witnessing surge in crowds year after year !
The second world war remnants at
@Vizag
; my clicks - they keep surfacing some times from the sea , beautiful ! but soon we may lose this heritage; the bunkers need to be salvaged !
@GVMC_VISAKHA
@Tourism_AP
@APInfraStory
please
Richest heritage of
#Vizag
lies between coastal battery to Ross Hills ;
@Tourism_AP
boats: St Alyosious School, Town Hall, oldest light house , cruise terminal, 3 religious abode at Ross -
@vptIndia
@GVMC_VISAKHA
@vizagcitypolice
May require attention to divert heavy traffic
With this kind of attendance evidently at Global investors summit ,
#vizag
is set to push AP into prominence , but we need to see what translates between tomorrow and day after !
Not sure why real estate swelled from Sagarnagar to mangamaripeta in last six months at
#Vizag
- an apartment that costs at 80 l went to 1.3 crs
@sudeer1972
?!?
As a precursor to international connectivity of Vizag before bhogapuram airport operates , a direct flight opens from
#Vizag
to Bangkok and at a time Indians do not require visa - costs around 4,000 Rs !
