Vizag Port to instal 100 ft national flag at Convent Junction

Visakhapatnam Port Authority (VPA) chairman M. Angamuthu laid the foundation stone for a 100-foot high mast national flag on Thursday, and inaugurated the newly developed Marine Park at Convent Junction. The cost of the two projects is ₹2.7 crores, according to a release.

The national flag will be installed in front of the Ambedkar Statue island at Convent Junction within a span of three months, the release added.

The port, in coordination with the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation and other agencies, undertook works including development of roads, pavements, medians at major junctions, enhancing greenery, and arranging lighting strips to enhance the night-time ambience of the Port area.

“The Marine Park features illuminated marine-themed structures such as an anchor, starfish, dolphins, and a seashell, set amidst landscaped surroundings along a curved pathway. The sculptures and pathways have been artistically illuminated, to offer a dazzling and vibrant appearance at night,” said Mr. Angamuthu.
