With the start of January 2020, it’s the time of the year when we ask citizens of Vizag to come up with all that they wish for this year. As Team Yo! Vizag took to its social media to pose this question, here is what people across the city came up with. We hope that atleast a few of these wishes come true.
1 MORE TREES AND GREENERY
Vizag’s green cover was something we always took for granted, right up till the Cyclone Hudhud gave us a rude shock. A large percentage of our green cover was simply wiped out overnight. While this did give rise to the greening drive, and we realise its importance more than before, there’s still a long way to go, for the city to have sufficient lung space. Also, the wide-spreading concrete jungle is eating up our green spaces and encroaching upon land that rightly belongs to wildlife. Here’s hoping that 2020 will not only see more trees being planted but will also mark the start of more eco-consciousness among people.
2 FOOD FOR THE SOUL
As a city known for its love of food, we got super excited when the outlets of KFC, McDonald’s and Burger King opened up. However, there’s still a long list of food chains that the city wants. Eager for more options, outlets that the city’s foodies await include Starbucks, Taco Bell, Korean Restaurants and Krispy Kreme. And yes, adding a couple of eat streets in this delicious mix would satiate our appetites this year.

Safety Against Coronavirus
Spreading thick and fast all over the globe, the deadly coronavirus (COVID-19) has claimed about 4000 lives and infected over 100000 people in more than 100 countries. Here are the symptoms, precautions, and the common myths surrounding coronavirus as shared by the World Health Organization (WHO).
REALTY CHECK
The scenic coastal city of Visakhapatnam is slowly emerging as a preferred destination to live and work in for many. Whether it be the promise of the region becoming an executive capital or the hope that the Bhogapuram International Airport will be a milestone-marker, the real estate scenario is booming like never before. A range of projects are now seeing the light of day, each promising incremental value. One can choose from gated communities to residential villas or plots of land for investment. Commercial properties are on the rise too, with new companies trying to find a foothold in the region. With all these elements, the city is poised for remarkable prospects in the days to come. The Yo! team interacts with a few of the city’s top realtors, who talk about the market, their projects and share expert insights.
THE PELICAN BRIEF
On a chilly Sunday morning, Krishna Diwakar took a memorable trip to Teelinalapuram Bird Sanctuary. He shares insights from this visit organized by the Eastern Ghats Wildlife Society (EGWS).
DREAM CATCHERS
From seeing a dream, to striving to achieve it. As the world celebrates International Women’s Day in the month of March, we at Yo! take inspiration from some amazing women in the city. With each of them having a unique story behind their achievements, and diverse scale of operations, these 40 women prove that all one needs to do is dream the reality they want to achieve.

TRAILBLAZING INTO TOMORROW
From spreading laughter to hip-hoppin’ in style, the city has always been a hub of talent. This month, we at Yo! introduce you to three clubs with unusual agendas. Not for them the been-there’s and the done that’s as they chart new paths and head to newer destinations. And for all those who still think that Vizag is a quiet city with limited options, these are amazing examples of the possibilities and opportunities we have now woken up to.
QUEBEC CALLING
