Residents of Lakshmi Nagar, in the Velampeta area in Vizag, can heave a sigh of relief, as the government has approved the construction of houses for 177 families living in the Lakshmi Nagar slum.

Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development, P Narayana, has approved the construction of houses. The announcement was made during a meeting between the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) and Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority on Friday. The decision was taken following a discussion with CM Chandrababu Naidu.
