Visakhapatnam Rushikonda Lies in Shambles

The once bustling scenic tourist locale of Visakhapatnam Rushikonda now lies in shambles after the havoc wrought by cyclonic storm Hudhud. All the cottages of the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) at Rushikonda were badly damaged.

Visakhapatnam Rushikonda

Visakhapatnam Rushikonda is one of the most popular tourist locations which receives tourists from West Bengal, Odisha and other States during the peak tourism months of October-December. The damage and impact of the cyclone has been the most in this place. Almost all the rooms were damaged. All the tourists had been shifted from Rushikonda to Haritha Resort opposite Appu Ghar, following the massive damage. Roads leading to APTDC’s Jungle Bells Resort at Tyda had also been badly damaged due to the cyclone.

Following the news of the devastating effect of the cyclone, tourists had been cancelling the hotel rooms booked earlier. It is horrifying to see the destruction around. The people were surviving on basic food items by paying five times the cost. It is hard to imagine this is the same city after the cyclone swept off.

While the APTDC resort perched atop the hill paints a devastating picture of the impact of the cyclone, for the fishing community and the local shops dotting the popular Rushikonda beach, it seemed like ‘an end of the road’. The stalls were the only livelihood of the vendors who used to sell refreshments, local handmade shell crafts and other small items for the tourists. The fishermen at Visakhapatnam Rushikonda have lost all their boats to the enormous intensity of the cyclonic storm that engulfed the coast.
