Adani Gangavaram Port Deploys Special Teams and Equipment to Clear Storm Drains in Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam: Adani Gangavaram Port, the deepest and one of the most modern ports in India, has deployed special teams and mechanized equipment to assist the city of Visakhapatnam in cleaning sewers and other critical drainage routes to mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall caused by a deep low pressure area moving north

This initiative comes at a crucial time as Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) teams have been deployed to Vijayawada to support relief efforts following severe flooding there since August 31, 2024. AGPL teams have stepped in to ensure that Visakhapatnam's major roads remain functional and reduce the risk of water logging and flooding. Flooding has been occurring there since August 31, 2024.
