Hyderabad sources have stated that Independence Day celebrations in Andhra Pradesh this year 2017 will be special as the venue of the main function is the scenic Ramakrishna beach road in the port city of Visakhapatnam. Parakala Prabhakar, Advisor (Communications) to the state government, told "Probably, this is the second time in the country that the Independence Day is going to be celebrated on a beach road".
The Ramakrishna Beach derives its name from Ramakrishna Mission located across the Beach road. Hyderabad is the common capital of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for a period of 10 years as per the Andhra Pradesh Re-organization Act after which the city would be the capital solely for Telangana.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will unveil his vision for each district in his customary address at the Independence Day function in Kurnool last year. The vision was about proposed location of important central institutions and industrial clusters district wise. Meanwhile, Mr. Naidu is expected to talk about certain policy issues this year too.
