Lake rejuvenation project launched in Kapuluppada
Visakhapatnam: MP M. Sribharat and MLA Ganta Srinivasa Rao inaugurated a lake rejuvenation project in Kapuluppada on Wednesday. This initiative, collaboration between Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA), Dhan Foundation and Redington Foundation, aims to restore four interconnected lakes— Pothinavari Cheruvu, Baada Cheruvu, Kambala Cheruvu, and Baruva Cheruvu— collectively known as Golusukattu Cheruvulu. The key activities include desilting, dredging, strengthening embankments, improving access routes, and protecting the lakes from encroachments. Local farmers, who have generously forgone their crops this season, lead the project. Sribharat said that preservation lakes and maintaining groundwater levels will prevent seawater ingress and ecological damage. He commended the efforts of all stakeholders and expressed hope that this project would serve as a model for sustainable water management in the region. District collector M.N. Harendhira Prasad and VMRDA chairperson M.V. Pranav Gopal and commissioner Viswanathan were also present.
