Union Minister Sonowal Inaugurates Vizag Port Promenade, Launches Rs 560 Crore Projects
Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal inaugurated a waterfront promenade at Visakhapatnam Port and launched infrastructure projects worth around Rs 560 crore. The promenade, spanning 710 meters, includes recreational facilities and aims to boost tourism without disrupting port operations. Key projects include expanding sewage treatment capacity and handing over five berths to private operators under a Public-Private Partnership model to enhance cargo-handling by 11 million tonnes annually. These initiatives reflect the Centre's focus on modernizing port infrastructure and promoting sustainable development.
