Vizianagaram Collector Orders GMR to Repair Roads Damaged by Airport Construction

Vizianagaram Collector S. Ramsundar Reddy has directed GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport Limited to immediately repair approach roads damaged by heavy vehicles during the construction of the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport. The move follows reports that local villages, including Dibbalapalem and Ravada, were cut off, preventing farmers from accessing fields or transporting produce.

The Collector also instructed the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to establish connectivity between the airport and national highway service roads. NHAI officials have assured that these necessary infrastructural changes will be completed within a couple of weeks to restore access for passengers and local residents.
