The problem, broken down
- Who it hurts
- Farmers and residents of villages such as Dibbalapalem, Ravada and Kancheru near the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport.
- The moment
- Trying to take a tractor, fertiliser or harvested produce along an approach road broken up by construction trucks.
- What people do today
- Villagers raise the problem with elected representatives and officials one complaint at a time; repairs were ordered only after a newspaper report.
- Why it's unsolved
- The damage is spread across many small village and field roads, responsibility is split between the airport operator, the district and the highways authority, and there is no shared list of what is broken and who will fix it.
- What solved looks like
- A shared map of damaged roads and approach paths around the airport, where villagers pin a stretch with a photo, and the district and airport operator mark who owns the repair, the promised date and when it is done, with a monthly public summary.
Evidence
Every claim is tied to the source it comes from- 1Residents say heavy vehicles used to build the Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport at Bhogapuram damaged the roads of nearby villages such as Dibbalapalem, Ravada, Byreddipalem, Gudepuvalasa and Kancheru.
- 2Many villages lost easy connectivity after the airport was built on nearly 2,500 acres, and farmers can't bring produce home or carry fertilisers to their fields because the approach roads are damaged.
- 3Officials said a shortage of funds had delayed the construction of new roads and approach roads.
- 4The Vizianagaram Collector directed GMR Visakhapatnam International Airport Limited to immediately repair the damaged roads and lay new ones where needed, using CSR or other funds.
- 5Passengers using the service roads have to travel at least eight kilometres to reach the national highway, the only route to the airport; NHAI assured changes in a couple of weeks.
