Vizianagaram: What was meant to be a proud milestone for Andhra Pradesh quickly turned into an embarrassing talking point after videos from the newly inaugurated Alluri Sitarama Raju (ASR) International Airport at Bhogapuram went viral on social media.

The videos spread rapidly online, drawing criticism from netizens who said the incidents reflected a worrying lack of civic sense. Many expressed disappointment that such behaviour unfolded on the day of the airport's inauguration, arguing that world-class infrastructure also requires responsible public conduct and questioning whether locals were ready for such facilities meant to develop the North Andhra region.
