New passenger service flagged off between Kacheguda and Karimnagar

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Friday announced that the Lokmanya Tilak Terminal (LTT), Mumbai – Nizamabad Express will be soon extended up to Karimnagar. This will be the second link to Karimnagar after he flagged off the inaugural run of the Kacheguda-Nizamabad passenger extended up to Karimnagar, a long pending demand of Telangana.

Works like the Peddapalli-Karimnagar-Nizamabad rail line has been completed recently — this was proposed way back in 1993-94 when P.V. Narasimha Rao was the Prime Minister — while Jaggayapet–Melacheruvu–Janpahad and Manoharabad–Kothapalli new line projects are progressing, he said and added that Manoharabad-Kothapalli line gives connection to the famous Vemulawada Temple.

“Telangana used to have Rs. 258 crore of capital investment but in the current year, the Modi government has allotted Rs. 1,813 crore for capital works which is an indication of Railways doing it with speed, skill and scale,” said Mr. Goyal at the Secunderabad Railway Station where he participated in a spree of inaugural and stone laying programmes.
