Kishan Reddy requests TS govt to allot land for railway stations

Union Minister G Kishan Reddy has written a letter to Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to allot additional land for Cherlapally, Secunderabad and Moulali railway stations on Tuesday. He requested the government to take special initiative or immediate steps to provide the necessary assistance and support for the development of the railway stations.
In view of increasing population and passenger traffic, the three main railway stations of Hyderabad city, Kachiguda, Secunderabad and Hyderabad are heavily burdened. As a solution to this problem, Indian Railways has decided to develop a new terminal at Cherlapally railway station within the city limits.
Accordingly, many development programmes including the construction of terminal and construction of additional platforms are being carried out rapidly within Cherlapally railway station as a target of March 2024. While the development programmes are going on within the railway station, there is a need to widen the approach road outside the railway station to facilitate the movement of passengers and vehicles to and from the railway station. Also, additional land is to be allocated on both sides of the station for parking etc. 200 feet wide road should be developed from FCI godown road towards the new station building. In future, this road will become the main road to reach Cherlapally railway station.
The road from Bharat Nagar side (next to Indian Oil Petrol Station) to Charlapalli station should be developed. There is already a 30 foot road here. It should be spread at least 100 feet wide.
The road from EC Nagar to the MMTS platform at Cherlapally station is very narrow. The road reaching the station from the EC Nagar main road is to be developed with a minimum width of 100 meters and a length of 700 meters.
In addition to these, three acres towards the new building of Charlapally station and 2.7 acres towards the MMTS platform have to be allotted for parking etc.
The Railway Department has already deposited Rs 4 crore under the contract for establishing water supply connection to Cherlapally terminal.
