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.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
