Addressing the Assembly, the Infrastructure Minister said the government will expedite Budagatlapalem fishing harbour works in Srikakulam district, and construct a Fish Landing Centre (FLC) in Manchinillapeta.
"Under the leadership of CM Chandrababu Naidu, the coalition government is committed to the development of the coastline. Very soon we will complete all the port and fishing harbour projects taken up in the state," he said.
Acknowledging existing infrastructural and cold storage issues at Krishnapatnam and Ramayyapatnam ports, the minister promised to resolve them soon.
