Minister for Tribal Welfare Gummadi Sandhya Rani and District Collector N. Prabhakar Reddy announced new plans to attract tourists to Mahaloddha waterfalls in Makkuva mandal, Parvatipuram-Manyam district. The waterfall ranks among the best in the country and lies in a hilly tribal area. Previously, poor road access kept tourists away. Now, a new road has been laid to open the area to visitors. Ms. Sandhya Rani told media, "The government is focusing on promoting tourism in tribal areas to ensure livelihoods for the tribal people." This development aims to bring thousands of tourists from Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and other states. The officials visited the site to review progress and boost tourism potential.
