Till 3 days ago, the picturesque Vizag had been the dream destination for development of IT the Hyderabad way. It was also been visualised as the right place for the development of Telugu Film Industry in AP. And for earning foreign exchange, it had all the scope to become tourists’ haven. Though Vijayawada and Guntur regions are recurring in discussions regarding capital city, Vizag occupied a special place in the eyes of Chandra Babu’s vision.
But within few hours, HudHud just smashed everything into nothing. The beautiful picturesque Vizag is posing sorry sight leaving the onlookers pained at the plight of the dwellers of Vizag and devastated sight of the city. With timely and well monitored relief operations in full swing, Vizag is restoring back to its normalcy regarding people slowly going back to their routine. But what about the dreams that have been shattered to smithereens?
As Vizag is recuperating quickly, one compartment of CBN’s mind seems to have been busy planning to bring back the past glory to the Port City. Who can think of planning a smart city when the HudHud devastating remains are still in the viscinity? But CBN has already come up with a new vision for the development of the port city into a smart city. How is this possible? Just by sitting there and dreaming about a smart city? Nay. He has a pucca plan already taking shape on the paper.
Is Vizag the only city vulnerable to such devastating cyclones? No. There are many other such cities in the world. Then how did these cities handle such situations and emerge as smart cities? Definitely there are professionaly competant consultants who had helped these cities to handle such situations and despite natural calamities have bounced back again. Chandra Babu is going to rope in best consultants from across the world, who handled similar cities in the world.
Besides this, for the beautification of the city, Naidu is working on plans to improve the land scapes by using the best of horticulture consultants to improve greenery. For this he is going to take the help of horticulture nurseries from Kadiam, East Godavari district. In addition, the AP CM will approach World Bank and ADB for funds to make Vizag a model city. This is Naidu for you if the current youth hasn’t seen how he functioned when he was CM before. Not just talking about his new vision but actually suggesting the plan of action to shape up in due course. Do you agree?
