Vijayawada: Bhavanapadu Port in Srikakulam renamed as Mulapeta Port, said Infrastructure and Investments (Ports) Special Chief Secretary Karikal Valaven. The Andhra Pradesh government has taken the decision following a representation of farmers from Mulapeta and Vishnu Chakram villages.

The land earmarked for the project belongs to Mulapeta and Vishnu Chakram villages and people from these villages were displaced due to the project, therefore, the request for changing the port name was approved, it added.
