The State Government has embarked on an ambitious project of introducing a high-speed rail corridor connecting Hyderabad with Machilipatnam via Vijayawada. The project intends to reduce the travel time between the State capital with the port city to just two hours. Officials have been directed to prepare a comprehensive project report so that the Government could seek Central funds. According to a press release from the Chief Minister’s office on Sunday, Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy said that once the corridor was established, it would provide a direct link from Hyderabad International airport to Machilipatnam port. The rail corridor would bring about industrial revolution in Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy, Nalgonda, Mahabubnagar, Medak, Warangal and Krishna district. The corridor is on the lines of the one proposed between New Delhi and Mumbai. The State Government is planning to seek Central funds for the project.             |
