Railway Budget:What has it for AP & TG
X
The Railway budget introduced by Sadananda Gowda ended up as a major disappointment for both the Telugu speaking states.Andhra Pradesh and Telangana hoped for several new railway lines, introduction of new trains between densely populated cities like Hyderabad and Tirupati but both Telugu states failed to get any big projects in the Budget announced today.

No new projects allotted to the two states but only promised to complete the existing 29 pending projects. Total Six trains have been sanctioned for the sibling states.

Andhra Pradesh has got two trains and Telangana has got three new trains which also includes 2 semi-bullet trains and one ac premium train.

* Secunderabad-Nizamuddin premium express

* Vijayawada-New Delhi AC express

*Paradeep - Vizag weekly express

* Visakha Chennai Weekly express

* Secunderabad-Nagpur semi-bullet train

* Chennai-Hyderabad semi-bullet train

* Committee to decide on the facilities in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

* 29 pending projects in AP and Telangana to get more than Rs 20 crore

Union Urban Development Minister M Venkaiah Naidu recently urged Gowda to introduce several new trains from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to Delhi and other far off places in the country.But his requested were purley ignored by the railway minister.Several demands put up by both the states like Coach factory etc were also ignored.
