Upgraded Road and Civic Arrangements Prepared for Simhachalam Giri Pradakshina Pilgrimage
Ahead of the annual Simhachalam Giri Pradakshina pilgrimage on July 28, Visakhapatnam officials inaugurated the upgraded 1.4 km Lakshmi Narasimha Marg to ease traffic and reduce travel time for devotees. Developed at a cost of over 11 crore, the road improvement involved complex land realignment. The Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation has also arranged extensive facilities, including water supply points, toilets, sanitation workers, and medical camps, to support the expected five to six lakh participants during the 32-km circumambulation.
