Vizag Railway Zone to be made operational soon

Decks are being cleared for operationalising the new South Coast Railway Zone, with headquarters in Visakhapatnam, as Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw conveyed his decision to approve the Detailed Project Report.

Rajya Sabha member G V L Narasimha Rao said in a release here that the Railway Minister also informed that construction activities related to the new zone would be commenced at the earliest.

The MP met the Railway Minister on Tuesday and requested the latter to expedite operationalisation of the South Coast Railway Zone as it was a “dream of the people of Andhra Pradesh”.
