NGT stays tourism project on Visakhapatnam's Rushikonda Hill, forms new panel

VIJAYAWADA: The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Wednesday ordered an interim stay on the construction works of the proposed tourism project on Rushikonda Hill abutting the beach in Visakhapatnam.

The NGT's Principal Bench in New Delhi also constituted a joint committee to look into the environmental viability of the project and whether Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearances should be revisited.

The NGT's order came even as an earlier committee it had appointed said there were no violations.The order was based on a petition by YSR Congress MP K Raghurama Krisham Raju, alleging that the construction work was being carried out in gross violation of environmental norms.

It also alleged that master plan notified by the Urban Development Department, too, was violated. The petitioner termed the area environmentally sensitive, and said the State should protect it as per its Constitutional mandate.

The Tribunal had earlier formed a four-member committee with the Central and State Pollution Control Boards, State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority and Vizag District Collector as its members to look into allegations.

The committee reported that the construction was for the tourism project for which Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) clearance was granted.

"The project site falls under CRZ-II as per the mapping done by IRS, Anna University. The AP Tourism Development Corporation submitted a proposal to APCZMA for CRZ clearance and the APCZMA recommended 'No Objection' to the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change for CRZ clearance and the same was issued for the development of the project in two stages," he said.

Further, it said the APTDC had constructed Haritha Resorts and VIHAR in 2006 and as the block became old, the department decided to demolish the existing ones and replace them with a new resort. The committee provided a clean-chit to the APTDC project.

The NGT said, "Though the report found the area in CRZ-II as per mapping done by Anna University, it needs to be verified whether as per CZMP, the category of the site is in CRZ-II. Further, we find it necessary to ascertain from an independent committee whether such a project is viable considering the eco-sensitiveness of the Hill, which may be adversely affected by such a project."

The NGT constituted a joint committee of National Coastal Zone Management Authority (NCZMA), AP Coastal Zone Management Authority (APCZMA), National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management (NCSCM), with APCZMA being the nodal agency for coordination and compliance.

"The committee may look into the permissible use as per approved CZMP and environmental viability of the project and whether CRZ clearance needs to be revisited," the NGT said, and asked the panel to submit its report in a month.

"No further construction shall be undertaken till the next date of hearing," the NGT said, while directing the APTDC and MoEF&CC to file their counter. The matter has been listed for July 11.

Caravan tourism on the anvil in erstwhile Visakhapatnam District

In a bid to promote tourism further in Andhra Pradesh, the government is considering the innovative concept of caravan tourism, which has already become popular in states such as Maharashtra, Kerala, and Karnataka. Initiating an exercise in this direction, the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation is preparing plans to introduce the caravan model in the agency areas of the former Visakhapatnam District. A team of officials have toured Araku, Chintapalli, and Lambasingi and made reports ready for approval.

Once the decks are cleared, caravans will be made available in the selected places. The caravans would resemble luxury homes with facilities such as a bedroom, kitchen, microwave, toaster, washroom with a shower, fridge, smart TV, and music system. They will be under CCTV surveillance, and the tariff will be in tune with the caravan’s size.

The Kerala Government took up a campaign last year on a big scale to promote caravan tourism. Earlier, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Goa introduced caravans to attract tourists. A popular concept in foreign countries, caravan renting is catching up in India after the COVID-19 outbreak.

In the remote areas of the erstwhile Visakhapatnam District, such as Lambasingi, where tourists face hassles finding adequate accommodation, caravan tourism, if introduced, would prove to be a viable option. Tourist destinations such as Araku have been registering maximum footfall and have the potential to attract more if the plans to promote caravan tourism in Andhra Pradesh take shape.

Visakhapatnam: Haritha Resorts gives way to 5-star hotel

APTDC’s Haritha Resorts being demolished to pave way for the proposed five-star hotel in Visakhapatnam

The one-and-a-half decade old Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation’s (APTDC) Haritha Resorts is now in shambles as it is all set to be replaced with a five-star hotel

Visakhapatnam: The one-and-a-half decade old Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation's (APTDC) Haritha Resorts is now in shambles as it is all set to be replaced with a five-star hotel.

Following the ongoing exercise of demolition of the beach resorts amid resistance from the opposition and cross-section of society, the once sought-after resorts, located at Rushikonda Hills, was a special attraction among the tourists because of its beach view and various other features.

Probably, it was one of the main reasons why the occupancy indicated an encouraging response all through the year.

The 57-room facility of the beach resorts comprises a conference hall and a restaurant as well. While some of the old cottages were built in the 80s, the rest came into existence much later.

On an average, about Rs 25 crore revenue was generated from the beach resorts annually. However, since the premises is close to the beach, maintenance cost appears to be high. Last year, 22 rooms were renovated at a cost of Rs2 crore. This apart, the restaurant and conference hall were developed a few years back.

When cyclonic storm Hudhud left a trail of destruction, lakhs of rupees were spent on the beach resorts for its repair and maintenance. Over the years, when things were gradually falling in place, the coronavirus pandemic has hit the business once again.

Lockdowns, travel restrictions and the collapse of the tourism sector have eventually impacted the revenue generation of the beach resorts.

Meanwhile, as a part of the tourism development in the State, the government is focusing on establishing five and seven-star hotels across the state.

In connection with this, Tourism Minister M Srinivasa Rao hinted much earlier that a proposal is made to set up a five-star hotel at the beach resorts and that a project close to Rs150 crore is likely to be grounded in place of APTDC's resort.

However, the demolition exercise is not going down well among various sections of society. The Opposition leaders feel that in the name of development, the government need not demolish the existing resorts.

The TDP and the Jana Sena leaders allege that there was an ulterior motive behind the demolition of the resort. They say that there is 150 acres of land abutting the resorts and five-star hotel could have been constructed there. They further said that public opinion was also not sought.
