Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary N. Lokesh has promised to explore a permanant solution to prevent the erosion of the Uppada coast in Kakinada district.
Mr. Lokesh interacted with the fisherfolks during his Yuva Galam padayatra in Uppada on December 3 (Sunday). The fisherfolks told him that their boats were getting damaged due to the coastal erosion. The Uppada coast has lost a significant area due to erosion, displacing many fishermen’s family in the recent years.
In response, Mr. Lokesh said, “The TDP will strive to explore a permanent solution to the problem. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has withdrawn the subsidy on fishing boats and fishing material.”
