Mr.Sanyasiraju said that roads, airports and seaports could be developed in Vizianagaram, Srikakulam and others district under Pradhan Mantri Gatishakti Bharat Master Plan which was mentioned by Mr. Modi on the occasion of the 75th Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi.
“Mr.Modi’s statement has raised hopes of over 17 lakh youth of the region. The State government should cooperate with the Centre in the implementation of the ambitious master plan,” he said.
