Telangana MPs met South Central railway general manager Vinod Kumar on Wednesday in Hyderabad where they expressed their concern over the inordinate delay in the completion of several projects.

They submitted few demands be included in the railway and general budgets for allocation.

Speaking to TOI, Miryalaguda MP Gutta Sukender said that the South Central Railway zone, despite being top in earning revenue is indifferent in resolving pending issues.

Mentioning the Nalgonda-Macherla line which was sanctioned in 1997 but is yet to see the light even after 20 years, the MP further pointed out the Pagidipalli- Nallapadu doubling works and Jaggayyapet-Mellachervu passenger line which is yet to be taken up.

While the MPs expressed displeasure over the delay in works, the South Central Railway general manager has assured that he would write to the railway board on all issues.

The demands even included a new line between Kazipet-Karimnagar via Huzurabad and special trains for the Medaram Jatara.
