Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is scheduled to review the developmental activities of Vizianagaram district in the backdrop of construction of the Bhogapuram International Airport and proposed plans for the quick economic progress of Visakhapatnam region. As Vizianagaram is close to Visakhapatnam city, the government is keen to utilise land banks in the district for the quick development of entire North Andhra region.

Vizianagaram Collector S. Ramsundar Reddy, Joint Collector Sedhu Madhavan directed officials to prepare constituency-wise developmental plans which would be submitted to the Chief Minister at the review meeting scheduled for March 4, which is likely to be conducted either in Amaravati or Visakhapatnam. Mr. Ramsundar Reddy said that constituency-wise developmental plans would enable the government to select right industries and projects based on the availability of natural and human resources.
