Visakhapatnam: A large part of the Ramakrishna Beach road between INS Kursura submarine museum and YMCA caved in on Thursday causing a concern to the people. The erosion began two days ago with high waves eating away the sand.An old church building collapsed due to the sea surge in Yarada Beach. Damage of many facilities was also reported from Bhimili and Uppada near Kakinada. HRD minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao, Collector N Yuvaraj and Visakhapatnam Port Trust chairman M T Krishnababu visited the area and ordered submerging boulders near beach to arrest the sand erosion.
The minister asked the scientists of the National Institute of Oceanography and Pune-based Central Water and Power Research Station to prepare a report in six months and suggest measures to arrest the erosion. If the erosion was not arrested, sand would disappear from the beach and like Mumbai, the water would be touching the retaining wall. About 300 meters of sea road, retaining wall disappeared in the early hours of the day and the police blocked the road for the pedestrians and vehicle for safety.
