Vizag Railway Zone Delay: Questions Over Centre’s Injustice to AP

Vizag Railway Zone Delay: Questions Over Centre’s Injustice to AP

Vizag Railway Zone Delay:


The delay in issuing the Gazette Notification for the Visakhapatnam Railway Zone has sparked criticism from workers and political leaders. CH Shankar Rao, the President of the South Central Railway Mazdoor Union, questioned why the central government has not yet issued the notification, especially since it already launched the Jammu Railway Division.

Vizag Railway Zone Delay:

Speaking to the media in Vijayawada, Mr. Shankar Rao reminded everyone that the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act of 2014 includes a provision for a special railway zone for Andhra Pradesh. Although the government approved a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Visakhapatnam zone, it has failed to take any final action even after ten years. In contrast, officials announced the Jammu Railway Division in January 2025, completed its DPR, secured approval, and began administration by June 1, 2025 — all within just six months. This quick action has led many to believe that the central government is neglecting the South Coastal Railway Zone.


The union leader also noted that earlier delays happened due to the lack of land allocation. Now, with the TDP government back in power, the authorities have allocated land and started steps for new building construction. Still, the central government has not issued the required notification.

He urged Members of Parliament from Andhra Pradesh to focus more on the issue and put pressure on the Centre. He also appealed to Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu to speak with the Prime Minister directly and push for the approval of the Visakhapatnam Railway Zone.

This issue is being seen not just as a delay, but as unfair treatment between different states. People of Andhra Pradesh are demanding justice and equal consideration, especially since promises made during the state bifurcation are still pending. The hope remains that with strong political effort, the long-awaited railway zone will soon become a reality.
