The visiting Japanese delegation comprising investors, officials and industrialists from that country, on Friday inspected the social infrastructure and entertainment facilities available in the vicinity of industrial hubs in the district.

The members visited Krishnapatnam Port and went round various infrastructural facilities which were created there for high-volume and long-term marine transportation. The Japanese team interacted with different wings of the port and also the Container Terminal, which were developed there for improving the transportation of containers to many countries in the world.

“They are very happy with the industrial infrastructure and the scope for future development here. They are eager to know about the possibility for getting the world class social infrastructure at the port,” said Anil Yendluri, Chief Executive Officer of Krishnapatnam Port.

Stating that the interest being shown by the Japanese investors was a healthy sign for the State, Mr. Anil said that there was an immediate need for creating and showcasing international class social infrastructure in the areas of residential accommodation, education, health, hotels and entertainment.

This would go without saying that the State and district administration should have to lay more emphasis on drawing plans and evolving designs for the future development of Nellore and its surrounding industrial hubs in such a manner that employees of international companies from countries like Japan would feel comfortable to come and work here.

The delegation was stated to have been largely happy about the industrial infrastructure and the scope for greater development of roads, rail, port and so on. Land availability and power generation in this region also held out a lot of promise for them.
