Nara Lokesh invites a senior journalist to consider shifting newsroom headquarters to Visakhapatnam

Venugopal, who was in Visakhapatnam, took to social media to describe the experience of breathing clean air, contrasting it with the worsening pollution in Delhi.

She said she experienced no sore throat, early morning headaches or facial puffiness in Vizag, adding that the simple pleasure of waking up and breathing easily felt like a privilege. She also expressed envy of people who could choose to live in smaller, non-metropolitan cities.

Questioning the state of air quality in the national capital, she remarked that Delhi’s pollution had become so relentless that it appeared policymakers had given up, and asked how clean air had become a luxury rather than a basic right.

Responding to her post, Lokesh welcomed her to Visakhapatnam and suggested that she persuade her organisation to relocate its headquarters to the city.

"Great air, lovely views, and the fastest growing city in India. What more could a newsroom ask for?" he said, highlighting Visakhapatnam’s appeal as a place to live and work.
