The repair of the airport road damaged by the cyclone is starting

Repair work on the pipe replacement road leading to the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport began on Friday evening after parts of the road got damaged and reportedly collapsed at certain places due to the impact of ‘Cyclone Arnab’.

The route is important for air travelers who have raised concerns about the safety of the road and requested the GMR authorities to start repairs immediately.

Vizianagaram Collector S. Ramsundar Reddy reportedly alerted the group management about the damage and pointed out that many VIPs were traveling along the route.

He asked them to look into the reasons for the damage to the communications that occurred within three months of the airport’s inauguration.

Under pressure from the government, the contractors have temporarily started repairs and have assured that they will realign the road soon.
