Jana Sena Party (JSP) president Pawan Kalyan has set a 48-hour deadline to the Andhra Pradesh Government to come up with measures to protect the geo-heritage site, Erra Matti Dibbalu (red sand dunes), under the Bheemunipatnam constituency in the city.
As a part of his Varahi Yatra, Mr. Pawan Kalyan visited the site in the evening on August 16 (Wednesday). He was accompanied by, among others, party leaders Nadendla Manohar, Kona Tata Rao, and T. Siva Shankar.
“On one side of the site lands are being given to some ashram and layouts are being marked by the civic body on the other side,” Mr. Pawan Kalyan said after inspecting the site. Such activities were turning out to be a threat to the naturally formed red sand dunes, he said.
