The tank with its picturesque beauty can become a major tourist spot if the tourist department gives it a makeover

The Brahmaiah Lingam Tank at Chikkavaram has great potential to become a tourist attraction.

The Brahmaiah Lingam Tank

The tank, which is located 12 km from Gannavaram on the Nuzvid-Gannavaram Road in Krishna district, might become a popular destination with the efforts of the tourism department. With hills and flora surrounding the tank, it is a paradise for nature-lovers, and what better than to develop it along the lines of the Hussain Sagar in Hyderabad, as was announced by the irrigation minister Devineni Umamaheswara Rao.

“The tank is a boon for the people of neighbouring villages. Besides catering to the irrigation needs, it also serves as a picnic spot,” said B Anjaneyulu, a farmer from Chikkavaram.

Officials of the tourism department came up with proposals for developing the tank as a tourist spot by providing all facilities about six years ago. Now these proposals are gathering dust. Ironically, the tank does not find a place in the Mega Tourism Circuit Development Plan prepared by the government after bifurcation of the State.

“About Rs 60 crore has been sanctioned for developing the Mega Tourism Circuit in Krishna district and various places of importance like Kondapalli, Movva and Atapaka have been included in the circuit. But as of now there is no mention of the Brahmaiah Lingam tank in it,” said APTDC divisional manager T Baboji.
