Announcing this immediately after laying a foundation stone for the Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City here on Saturday, developed by Ramky Pharmacity (India) Ltd of the Chennai-based Ramky Group, the AP Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, said the State Government is keen to accelerate the process of industrialisation of the Visakhapatnam region, mainly from Kakinada to Srikakulam.
