> Title: Need to construct a new railway line between Peddapally to Secunderabad via Karimnagar & Siddipet in Andhra Pradesh.
SHRI PONNAM PRABHAKAR (KARIMNAGAR): I would like to draw the kind attention of the House towards the need for laying a new railway line between Peddapally to Secunderabad via Karim Nagar & Siddipet in Andhra Pradesh.
At present, there is a heavy rush on the route between Peddapally and Secunderabad. Therefore, there is an urgent need to lay a new railway line between these areas to cater to the needs of the people who are commuting daily between Peddapally and Secunderabad. This route will become an alternative and shortest route and will de-congest the traffic on this important section because the Kazipet route has become very busy and requires an alternative route to de-congest the railway traffic. Hon’ble Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh has since requested the Hon’ble Railway Minister to consider this proposal. However, the same is pending with the Ministry for a long time.
I, therefore, request the Hon’ble Minister of Railways to kindly order for a proper survey between Peddapally and Secunderabad via Karim Nagar and Siddipet in the remaining 11th Five Year Plan period and provide funds for the project so that the project can be completed in the 12th Five Year Plan Period.
