Andhra Pradesh government allots special sand reach in Vizianagaram

The state government has allotted a special sand reach in Denkada in Vizianagaram district to restore the supply of sand in the urban areas of Visakhapatnam district. Large parts of this region have been reeling with a sand shortage for several months now. This had stalled construction activity in the area and had led to job losses. The government has also decided to resume mining in two sand reaches in Srikakulam district. Sand obtained from these mines will also cater to the urban parts of Visakhapatnam district.
