I have trying to connect my phone with the wampserver I created and is looking forward for an OTP based application. I aim to have a different network for both the PC and mobile and look forward to use public IP for accessing. To enable port forwarding I have changed the port in httpd.conf to
Listen 8080
and in my router settings I have added separate entries: one for TCP and one for UDP packets.
Lastly, I have also enabled
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Require all granted
in the httpd.conf file as well. Technically, I should be able to access my wampserver by
http://{public IP address}:{8080}/
I have also given access to the port 8080 in my firewall, but when I do check online the status of port in public IP, it shows 8080 port is closed on the {public IP address}. Unfortunately, I am not able to access the following server. I am bit confused at the moment and I guess I am stuck with something really silly. I will be deeply obliged if anyone could help me with the issue.

If your port is still closed / blocked you probably have another router / firewal / ... blocking it. Does your internt providor maybe have a router of their own in front of your router?
