Blue Flag Certification for Vizag?
Vizag's Blue Flag aspirations Blue Flag for Vizag beach? Vizag's rather naive tourism department has been claiming from years that they will be getting a BLUE FLAG certification (https://www.fee.global/blue-flag) for Rushikonda beach real soon. They have spent several crores trying to fulfill all the 30 plus Blue Flag certification requirements. But with all the crap that comes down our geddas and floats up the sea from Vizag to the beaches in the North every day, keeping Rushikonda litter-free is a distant dream. Knowing how unlikely it will be to get a certification, it looks like some funny chap, erected a blue flag, on a heap of debris on the beach. This is across the road from Nethra Vidyalaya near Thotlakonda beach. Who says Vizagites don't have a sense of humor?
