Will Union Budget bring cheer for people of Vizag region on railway front?
The Hindu
Many proposals have been pending for a long time
Will the Union Budget being presented in Parliament on Tuesday (February 1) have anything to cheer for the people of Visakhapatnam region on the railway front? This is the question that is lingering on the minds of the people.
There are long-pending proposals and demands, which are being dodged year after year by the railways to the disappointment of the people. These include the construction of the third line from Visakhapatnam Junction to Gopalapatnam, for which a survey was completed long ago, construction of the Marripalem Maha Terminal, construction of additional platforms at Visakhapatnam junction and revival of the old Visakhapatnam Town Station in Old Town area.
