The Chandrababu government is planning to develop the Polavaram project area into a major tourism hub. Around 9900 acres of land will be developed as part of this large-scale initiative.
Water Resources Minister Nimmala Ramanaidu recently reviewed the master plan and development proposals. The project aims to promote eco tourism, riverfront tourism, and regional economic growth in and around the Polavaram region.
The Minister held discussions with architects and agency representatives at the Secretariat. Special focus was placed on the beautification of the Polavaram spillway as a key attraction.
According to Nimmala Ramanaidu, the land for the project has been identified through a LiDAR survey. The area will be transformed into a dedicated tourism zone with long-term development plans.
The Minister said the project will reflect Telugu heritage and the pride of Andhra Pradesh. It is envisioned as a landmark that represents the cultural identity of the state.
Following the directions of CM Chandrababu, proposals are being prepared to construct bridges. These bridges will connect the Polavaram left bank with surrounding regions.
Officials have also been instructed to improve road connectivity. Plans are in place to link National Highway 365BB with NH 516E to ensure smooth access to the proposed tourism hub.
