The Story in Brief
Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) Commissioner Ketan Garg has directed officials to complete all major development and beautification works by September 15, ahead of the International Partnership Summit in November. A regional summit may also be held in October. Garg reviewed arrangements on Thursday and instructed officials to repair potholes, improve roads from RK Beach to Bheemunipatnam, and ensure sanitation and waste management. Additional Commissioner P.M. Satyaveni set an August 25 deadline for Street Vendor Zones works. Delegates from across India and abroad are expected to attend.
The Indian Opinion
Critics may call this a last-minute cosmetic makeover for visiting delegates. But the order includes pothole repairs, drainage, and street vendor zones, not just fountains and greenery. The real test is whether these works will be completed by September 15 and, more importantly, maintained after the summit. Will Visakhapatnam see sustained improvement or just a temporary polish for a photo opportunity?
