Three new beaches would be on the map of Visakha tourism by the end of this year as Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (VUDA) is planning to develop the beaches on the Visakha- Bheemili stretch soon.
The beaches would be developed by adhering to the CRZ (Coastal Regulation Zones) rules, Vuda officials said.
The Visakhapatnam urban development authority would provide basic infrastructure and facilities at the junction on the beach road at Rushikonda IT Park, Ramanaidu studio and the main entrance of Thotlakonda area.
The vice-chairman of the urban development authority and his team inspected these areas on Tuesday. They said that the designs and proposals for the development of all the three proposed beaches would be submitted in a week to the authorities concerned.
The municipal authorities would also provide parking and lighting facilities at these beaches and the beaches would be ready before the inauguration of the Visakha Utsav to be held in December this year.
