Greater Visakha Citizens’ Forum appeals to VMRDA to not sell 13.5 acres of land near RK beach in Visakhapatnam

Greater Visakha Citizens’ Forum (GVCF) has appealed to the authorities concerned to protect the 13.8 acres of land (popularised as LuLu land), opposite the Visakhapatnam Port guest house near the beach road here on Friday.

In a release, the GVCF vice president Sohan Hattangadi said the Forum is not against the development of the city, but at the same time, it wants assets such as public land near Ramakrishna Beach remain protected.

“The Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) is contemplating the sale of 13.8 acres of the prime land for ₹1,400 crore. This decision warrants our attention and collective action,” Mr. Sohan said.
