It’s a four decade dream come true for the people of Medak, when the trial run of a train was held between Akkannapet and Medak for about 17.2 kilometres on Saturday.
Railway officials checked the speed, signals and other related issues during the trail run.
The demand for this rail connectivity to the district headquarters goes back to the 1980s, when the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had represented the Medak Lok Sabha constituency. However, the move did not go ahead with successive governments ignoring it.
