atnam-Repalle-Nizampatnam-Bapatla. This will not only connect the Ports of Kakinada,Machilipatnam and Nizampatnam but also reduces the distance between Chennai -Visakhapatnam. This will augment the growth of Godavari,Krishna region in All respects.. Industrial,Agricultural, Oil& Gas, Shipping, Tourism and more particularly for Passenger transport.
2. To reduce online booking charges for the Passengers to motivate them for online booking thus reducing pressure at Rly booking counters.
3. To change the name of Kakinada Town Rly Station as Kakinada City. This has to be cleared by Ministry of Home Affairs.
4. Regarding ROB s in Kakinada the officials replied me that Kondaiah Palem ROB Rly part is over and it's R&B has to complete approaches.
Regarding ROB at Port Rly Stn-Yetimoga and Sarpavaram ROB Approvals were already given.
5. Regarding Kotipalli-Narsapuram the Geo technical investigation by RITES is going on for the 3river bridges and for Kda-Pithapuram Rly Board's sanction for the revised estimates is awaited.
