Plans afoot to convert spot into community-based ecotourism venture: official
Eversince videos of white fluffy clouds kissing the peaks of the hills were uploaded on various social media and internet sites, some time in June last year, the once serene and tranquil tribal village of Vanjangi in Paderu in the Agency area of Visakhapatnam district, has become a tourist hotspot.
Not only the locals from the city, but even those who come from outstation, are seen making a beeline for this spot.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
