Coconut trees at RK beach are falling down due to soil erosion

Visakhapatnam: The beautiful coconut trees which were planted by GVMC in order to improve the tourism sector at the Vizag RK beach are now at the danger zone.

Apart from the beautification the coconut trees also provide shade for the morning walkers and to the tourists who visit the beach during the day time.

But now after the effect of Cyclone Fani the coconut trees are falling down one after the another due to the soil erosion caused by the rough sea waves at RK beach here at the city.

The devastating effect of cyclone Fani was seen at the coastal areas of Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Odisha, and West Bengal in the last week.

The 100 trees, which were 15 years old when planted in the sand have grown to a decent size after the plantation drive by GVMC. Which was really a tourists attraction point at the beach.
