Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region G. Kishan Reddy on Wednesday urged Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to provide “land free of cost” for improving parking spaces and approach roads at the upcoming Cherlapalli railway terminal, the fourth major one in the twin cities, by the South Central Railway (SCR).
The Minister, in an official communication to the Chief Minister, a copy of which was released to the media, also requested Mr. Rao to allot 300 acres, free of cost to the SCR, for taking another passenger terminal at Nagulapalli, beyond Lingampalli, on the western side of the capital region along with an approach road.
Mr. Kishan Reddy said a recent joint meeting of the railways and State officials after an inspection of the Cherlapalli railway station has identified a few works to be taken up for making the terminal functional by March 2023.
