Pollution and poor sanitation continue to pose civic challenges in Visakhapatnam’s South Zone, with residents raising concerns over basic amenities and the condition of local infrastructure. A report carried by The Hindu highlights persistent problems affecting parts of the zone.

Issues reported in the wider Gajuwaka area include poor roads, waterlogging during rainfall and pollution. These concerns have renewed calls for improvements in civic infrastructure and everyday services.

 

Environmental concerns also extend to Visakhapatnam’s coastline. Reports have highlighted wastewater and untreated sewage entering coastal waters through drainage outlets. The National Green Tribunal has taken up concerns over untreated sewage discharge, while authorities have been examining sewage treatment capacity and the diversion of drains to treatment plants.

 

Addressing these challenges requires sustained sanitation work, better drainage and sewage infrastructure, effective waste collection, and monitoring of pollution sources. For residents, reliable civic services remain essential to maintaining cleaner neighbourhoods and healthier surroundings.
