Odalarevu (also spelled as Vodalarevu) is a village located in the Allavaram mandal, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Konaseema district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
[7] As Odalarevu is located near the coast and is prone to heavy rainfall,[8] the area is susceptible to flooding, especially during monsoon seasons or in the event of cyclones.
[11] In recent years, Odalarevu has faced environmental challenges related to fisheries waste and illegal prawn farms, leading to pollution of the ocean.
Improper waste disposal practices and the presence of unauthorized prawn farms have resulted in the release of pollutants into the marine ecosystem.
[16] In December 2020 and February 2021 National Green Tribunal joint committee, consisting of representatives from various organizations, conducted site visits and found that oil leakage in the pipelines of the Odalarevu GGS (group gathering station) was causing damage to farming land and affecting water bodies.
