Why it matters
Infrastructure improvements for large-scale public events are essential for sanitation and the successful promotion of local economic initiatives.
The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) has arranged a special drainage system at Punnami Ghat, where the Saras Aajeevika Mela is going to be held from October 13, to ensure the smooth disposal of wastewater and prevent it from stagnating.
Municipal Commissioner Dhyanachandra H.M. said the measures are being taken in consideration of the large influx of vendors from across the country who are expected to set up their stalls here. The VMC Commissioner also directed authorities to provide underground drainage facilities wherever necessary and to ensure that cleanliness is maintained throughout the event. President Droupadi Murmu is also expected to attend the mela.
Earlier in the day, Minister of State for Rural Development and Communications and Guntur MP Pemmasani Chandrasekhar and Vijayawada MP Kesineni Sivanath (Chinni) inspected arrangements for the event at Punnami Ghat.
