Visakhapatnam: The track doubling works of Kothavalasa-Kirandul (KK) line of Waltair division of East Coast Railway is going on at a brisk pace. The KK-Line of the Waltair division was earning 90 per cent of its revenue against the total revenue of Rs 8,000 crore per annum.
Though there is a big plan for the past several years to lay the second track, the Centre has not approved the project. However, the Union Ministry granted the project for doubling the 445.5-km long track. The project was taken up at an estimated cost of Rs 4,816.66 crore.
According to schedule, the doubling track works are supposed to be completed by December 2019. To complete the works in the given time, the officials are working 24/7. The entire project was divided into three phases.
First phase-from Kothavalasa to Koraput, second phase Koraput to Jagdalpur and the last phase from Jagdalpur to Kirandul. The railways appointed three deputy chief engineers to the three phases to speed up the works.
