Two major Smart City projects of GVMC ready for inauguration

Officials plan to get parking project, VMRDA Park launched by CM this month

Two major projects being developed under the Smart City initiative of the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) are ready for inauguration. VMRDA park, which is well known as VUDA Park, on Beach Road and Multi Level Car Parking (MLCP) Project at Jagadamba Junction have been completed and are ready to be inaugurated. The officials are planning to get them inaugurated by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy during his proposed next visit to the city in the month. Among the two projects, the MLCP project is one of the prestigious projects of the GVMC, which aims at solving the parking issues at Jagadamba Junction, which is one of the most crowded junctions in the city, as there are a number of theatres, hospitals, shopping malls and private medical labs. The project was delayed for about a year, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The G+5 project was being taken up by a Pune-based private company at a cost of ₹9.7 crore. The facility is completely computerised and can accommodate about 100 cars.
