Nara Bhuvaneswari, wife of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has joined the ongoing debate over the prolonged travel time from Visakhapatnam to the newly inaugurated Bhogapuram Airport.
Taking to X, Ms. Bhuvaneswari shared her experience of travelling in the region, noting that it took her around 45 minutes to reach Visakhapatnam, while the journey to Anakapalli took approximately 1.10 hours.
“I have been seeing several comments suggesting that travelling from Bhogapuram airport to Visakhapatnam or Anakapalle could take nearly two hours. I would like to share my own experience. I travelled on the usual route and it took me around 45 minutes to reach Visakhapatnam and about 1 hour 10 minutes to reach Anakapalle,” she said.
She further added that travel time can naturally vary depending on the starting point, traffic conditions and the route taken. However, based on my experience, the journey was considerably shorter than the two hours being discussed, she said.
“As connectivity and supporting infrastructure continue to improve, I am confident that the travel experience will become even smoother and more convenient. Bhogapuram airport is an important milestone for North Andhra region and a gateway to greater opportunities for the region. Let us look ahead to the possibilities this new connectivity can bring,” she concluded.
