Plea to complete Bollarum-Nizamabad rail line work

By Our Staff Reporter

NIZAMABAD, SEPT. 14. The South Central Railway Consultative Committee member, G. Manohar Reddy, has urged the Union Railway Minister, Lalu Prasad, to direct the authorities to complete the ongoing broad gauge conversion work between Bollaram and Nizamabad at the earliest.

In a press release here today, he urged the Minister to initiate steps to make it as a double line after the gauge conversion work was over. The twin measures would help develop the north Telangana region which had been lagging behind in all respects, he observed.

He wanted introduction of an inter-city express on Secunderbad-Nizamabad-Nanded route, saying it would promote tourism enabling a large number of devotees from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra to visit Gnana Saraswathi temple on the banks of the Godavari.

On the railway lines between Jagityal and Karimnagar and Jagityal and Nizamabad, he pointed that though an amount of Rs.327 crores was allocated for the works in the 2003-04 budget, only Rs.30 crores was released.
