Kakinada, October 10: Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan announced a 100-day roadmap to address the key issues faced by the state’s fishermen. Speaking at an interaction program with fishermen at the Kakinada Collectorate, he said the government is determined to find practical and lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes. “We will identify and initiate primary solutions to all major problems raised by fishermen within the next 100 days,” he said. Addressing the growing coastal erosion in Uppada, Pawan Kalyan revealed that steps are being taken to construct a coastal protection wall within the next two to three years at an estimated cost of ₹300 crore. The Union Home Ministry has responded positively to the state’s request for assistance. Meanwhile, a temporary protection system worth ₹6 crore is being set up to safeguard vulnerable coastal areas. He emphasized that this project will act as a protective shield for the coast for the next 50 years once completed. Highlighting environmental concerns, Pawan Kalyan announced that a special committee will conduct pollution audits of industrial units affecting coastal waters, with reports expected within a week. He clarified that the audits are not meant to intimidate industries but to understand the severity and sources of marine pollution. “We will soon inspect the coastal waters ourselves to assess pollution levels directly,” he said, reaffirming the government’s commitment to a ‘Clean and Green Andhra Pradesh’ vision under Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership. The Deputy CM also ordered the formation of an expert committee with IIT Chennai to correct design flaws in the fishing harbor, which have caused damage to boats and nets. During the meeting, insurance cheques worth ₹5 lakh each were distributed to 18 families of fishermen who died at sea, including those pending from the previous government. “This government works beyond party lines, ensuring transparency and justice for all communities,” he asserted.
