The Union Government has been urged to reconsider its decision to locate the second major port in Andhra Pradesh at Dugarajapatnam in Nellore district, and to stick to the original plan of constructing the port at Ramayapatnam in Prakasam district.
The Organisation for Development of Prakasam District said 2-3 million tonnes of cargo (tobacco, granite and others) originates from Krishna, Guntur and Prakasam districts and the port at Ramayapatnam can also attract cargo from Telangana and Rayalaseema, making it a viable proposition.
