The Story in Brief
Visakhapatnam district collector M. Abhishikth Kishore has directed officials and company representatives to expedite work on 27 sanctioned IT projects and complete grounding before the Regional Investment Summit in October. Chairing a review meeting on Monday, he interacted virtually with company representatives and in person with department officials, taking stock of the progress and pending permissions. The collector asked the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation to coordinate with departments to resolve pending issues, noting that the Chief Minister’s Office is monitoring progress daily. Joint Collector G. Vidyadhari, RDO Sangeeth Mathur, and District Industries Centre General Manager Adiseshu were present.
The Indian Opinion
The push for fast-tracked IT project grounding ahead of an investment summit is welcome, but Vizag's track record of approvals sitting idle raises doubts. The collector's directive to coordinate across departments is sensible, yet the real test is whether the 27 companies actually break ground by October and create jobs. Without a public dashboard showing which projects have cleared which hurdles, such reviews remain closed-door affairs. How many of these projects will have construction photos to show by summit day?
