Ravaged by time: Two boys standing on top of a World War-II pill-box which had surfaced on the beach after the sea erosion, in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. The pill-boxes were used by the Britishers to safeguard the coast from enemy attacks and four such bunkers on the beach are covered up due to the beach build-up process over a long period of time.
