• The government issued G.O. RT No. 1586 creating a Group of Ministers comprising Tourism Minister Kandula Durgesh, Finance Minister Payyavula Keshav and Social Welfare Minister Dola Sree Bala Veeranjaneya Swamy, with the Tourism Secretary as convener.
• Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan inspected the coastal complex and urged conversion into a MICE hub or event venue, with Jana Sena backing a resolution and a decision targeted before the winter Assembly session.
• Officials reported peeling plaster, leaking roofs and collapsed ceiling panels, and Pawan Kalyan said the idle property is incurring about ₹1.5 crore a year in electricity costs.
• Project spending is reported at roughly ₹451–₹500 crore with only four of seven planned blocks completed, after demolishing an APTDC Haritha resort that earlier generated about ₹7 crore annually and included high-end interiors costing about ₹33–₹39 crore.
• Environmental and regulatory issues remain under review, with cases pending before the National Green Tribunal and prior Supreme Court limits on construction; the GoM has been asked to report at the earliest, though no firm deadline has been announced.
