West Godavari District Collector inaugurates musical water fountain at Alluri Sitarama Raju Memorial Park, with support from Ministry of Culture.
West Godavari District Collector Chadalavada Nagarani on Monday inaugurated a musical water fountain at the Alluri Sitarama Raju Memorial Park in Bhimavaram town. On July 4, 2022, the life-size statue of freedom fighter Alluri Sitarama Raju was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bhimavaram.
Addressing the gathering, Ms. Nagarani has said that the musical water fountain has been set up with ₹45 lakh sanctioned by the Ministry of Culture under the Azadi Ka Amrut Mahotsav. The fountain project was delayed in the wake of recent general elections. Ms. Nagarani has announced that many beautification works are in progress in the district headquarters of Bhimavaram with the support of the State and the Centre.

“Earth Day celebrations have already started in Bengaluru, with campaigns at various colleges such as St. Josephs, and Christ University where life-size elephants made from the invasive species, Lantana Camera, have been travelling to spread the message of conservation and coexistence, along with expert talks from WWF India and Ravi Chellam of Metastring Foundation,” said the release.
