Former Minister and Uttarandhra Charcha Vedika (UCV) convener Konathala Ramakrishna has appealed to Railway Minister Piyush Goyal not to go ahead with the proposal to merge the residual portion of Waltair Division into Vijayawada Division and instead expand the erstwhile division by merging a few more lines in AP.
While thanking the Railway Minister for the formal declaration of the new South Coast Railway Zone (SCoR) with headquarters in Visakhapatnam, Mr. Ramakrishna said that the proposal to merge the residual portion with Vijayawada Division was ‘unacceptable’ to the entire State of Andhra Pradesh in general and to the people of North Andhra in particular.
