🙏 Let devotion leave a blessing, not a burden. 🌿🌊
Vinayaka Chavithi is a celebration of faith, hope and new beginnings.
Let’s make sure our celebrations don’t leave behind plastic, POP and waste on our beautiful beaches.
This year, make a conscious choice:
🌱 Choose an eco-friendly Ganesha
🌸 Decorate with flowers, leaves & natural materials
🚫 Say no to plastic and POP
Because the festival may last a day, but the impact of what we leave behind can last for years.
Celebrate the tradition.
Protect the ocean.

Potholes No More: GVMC Deploys Advanced ‘BT Pothole Doctor’ for Faster, Quality Road Repairs
Safer Roads. Faster Repairs. Better Mobility.
GVMC has introduced the advanced ‘BT Pothole Doctor’ machine, procured at a cost of ₹1.30 crore, to accelerate pothole repairs and improve the quality of road patchwork across Visakhapatnam.
District Collector & GVMC Special Officer Sri M. Abhishikth Kishore, IAS, along with GVMC Commissioner Sri Ketan Garg, IAS, inspected and inaugurated the machine near CARE Hospital in South Zone. The machine can undertake patchwork of approximately 300 sq. metres per day, with individual pothole repairs completed in around 10–15 minutes, depending on the size.
The machine will be deployed across all GVMC zones, prioritising major roads, high-traffic stretches and roads requiring urgent repairs, as GVMC moves towards safer, smoother and more pothole-free city roads.

A Landmark Day for Andhra Pradesh
The inauguration of the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport, Bhogapuram, marks a transformative chapter in Andhra Pradesh's development, especially for Uttarandhra, which is set to emerge as a key growth engine of the State.

From aviation and power transmission to highways and bridges, today's projects lay the foundation for a stronger, better-connected, and more prosperous Andhra Pradesh. The Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram, which will transform Uttarandhra into a major hub for connectivity, tourism, trade, and investment; POWERGRID transmission projects worth ₹9,920 crore, strengthening renewable energy evacuation from Kurnool and Anantapur, ensuring reliable power supply, supporting industrial growth, and advancing Andhra Pradesh's clean energy ambitions, and National Highway & Bridge projects worth ₹1,854 crore, which will enhance connectivity across Rayalaseema and Coastal Andhra, reduce travel time and logistics costs, and facilitate trade and economic activity.

Today, Bharat didn’t just celebrate a successful launch. It celebrated the dawn of a new era of innovation, enterprise, and limitless possibilities.
Heartiest congratulations to Skyroot Aerospace, ISRO, and IN-SPACe on the successful launch of Vikram-1, India’s first privately developed orbital rocket. This landmark achievement reflects the transformative vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji to open India’s space sector to private participation, laying the foundation for a vibrant ecosystem of innovation and entrepreneurship.
The success of Mission Aagaman is not only a milestone in space exploration but also a catalyst for new opportunities in science, technology, research, manufacturing, startups, and high-skilled employment. It strengthens India’s position as a global innovation powerhouse and inspires millions of young minds to turn their aspirations into achievements.

Had a productive and insightful discussion with Hon'ble Minister for Education, IT & Electronics, Shri @naralokesh Garu at my residence today on Andhra Pradesh's development priorities.
He shared the outcomes of his recent visit to South Korea, the encouraging response from global investors, and the concerted efforts underway to attract high-value investments, cutting-edge technologies, and quality employment opportunities to our State.
Shri Lokesh Garu also enquired about my health following my shoulder surgery and conveyed his warm wishes for my speedy recovery. I deeply appreciate his thoughtful gesture of bringing the sacred prasadam and the portrait of Goddess Kanaka Durgamaa from Vijayawada.
I sincerely thank him for his concern, and warm wishes. I wish him continued success in his efforts towards the progress and prosperity of Andhra Pradesh.
