South Central Railway (SCR) has begun constructing two critical railway lines, including one for making the movement of the trains—both MMTS and long-distance ones—more efficient within the capital region.
Senior officials on Thursday said a new four kilometre ‘chord line’ is being built between Lallaguda and the Sitaphalmandi through the railway property. This will allow long-distance trains arriving from Kazipet to reach Kacheguda faster.
The second work is being undertaken where one of the Road under Bridge (RuB) vents has been blocked for vehicular traffic on the busy Rail Nilayam-Tarnaka road near Alugadda Bhavi. This one is for doubling and electrification of the existing single line between Seethaphalmandi and Moula Ali stations via the Malakjgiri station for about 10 km under the remaining section of MMTS Phase II project.
