> Title: Need to construct railway line linking Bhadrachalam - Kovvur and Manuguru-Ramagundam in Andhra Pradesh - laid SHRI B. VINOD KUMAR (HANAMKONDA): A survey has already been conducted to the Bhadrachalam to Kowur and Manuguru to Ramagundam new Railway lines which will serve and connect the backward areas of Telangana and the coastal area of Andhra Pradesh.
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has already agreed to contribute 50% for the new lines between Manuguru and Ramagundam.
The line between Bhadrachalam and Manuguru is already existing hence if the above two lines are taken up immediately connectivity between the coast of Andhra Pradesh to the Northern India will shorten and the rate of returns is expected to be 26% as per survey.
Hence the new line may be taken up immediately.
