http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Visakhapatnam/railway-zo ne-only-solution-to-end-injustice/article4396839.ece Waltair Division, which had enjoyed the status of a railway zone for 35 years, has been marginalised with its infrastructure and revenue diverted to develop new railway lines and infrastructure at Puri and Bhubaneswar despite inadequate returns and poor patronage of trains, speakers at an interaction organised by the Uttarandhra Rakshana Vedika (URV) here on Friday said. URV president S.S. Shiva Shankar, Samaikhyandhra JAC leader A. Kishore and Senior Citizen’s Forum leader R. Rama Rao contended that delinking Waltair Division from East Coast Railway and formation of a new zone with Visakhapatnam as headquarters was the only viable solution to end the ‘injustice’ being done to Waltair division and Visakhapatnam by ECoR. |
