South Central Railway’s Nanded division at bottom in terms of railway infrastructure

AURANGABAD: The Nanded division, which caters to several parts of Marathwada, has had only 35km of route electrification and barely 83km of track doubling, revealed the official data furnished by the South Central Railway (SCR).
While Nanded division is at the bottom in terms of electrification among six divisions of the SCR, it is placed second from the bottom — just marginally ahead of the Hyderabad division — in doubling of tracks by the difference of only 0.4km.
Moreover, the Nanded division is the only division in the zone that still has 130km track of meter-gauge, when most such colonial area routes have been almost phased out across the country.
