In a heartwarming gesture, a 5-kilometer stretch of newly constructed road in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, was inaugurated by Kargil war veteran Wing Commander Valluru Shyam Prasad (Retd.) on Monday. This event, organized by Nellore Rural MLA Kotamreddy Sridhar Reddy, not only marked the completion of a significant infrastructure project but also paid tribute to the nation's brave soldiers.
The road, spanning from Batwadipalem to Dycus Road, is a testament to the state's development efforts, costing 11 crores. It features a CC road surface, a central divider, lighting, drainage systems, and greenery, enhancing the constituency's connectivity and aesthetics. The inauguration ceremony was a proud moment, with the veteran soldier cutting the ribbon, symbolizing the fusion of military valor and civilian development.
"The idea of inviting soldiers to such inauguration programmes is a commendable development," expressed Mr. Shyam Prasad, emphasizing the honor he felt in being chosen for this role. This sentiment was echoed by MLA Kotamreddy, who has previously involved differently-abled individuals in similar events, showcasing his inclusive and respectful approach to governance.
The event also served as a platform for political leaders to highlight the state's progress under Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu's leadership, despite economic challenges. With representatives from TDP, JSP, and BJP in attendance, including former Mayor Nandimandalam Bhanusri and BJP district president Shipareddy Vamsidhar Reddy, the ceremony underscored the political support for infrastructure development and the recognition of military service. This initiative promises to foster a stronger bond between the public, their representatives, and the armed forces, potentially inspiring similar gestures across the nation.
