VIJAYAWADA: BJP MP GVL Narasimha Rao has urged the Centre to construct a link railway line between Narasaraopet and Nekarikallu in Andhra Pradesh for connectivity to Hyderabad. Making a short mention in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, the MP said that Narasaraopet is a prominent business town and headquarters of new Palnadu district.
Now, Narasaraopet is connected by rail to Bengaluru and Kolkata, but not to Hyderabad. Narasaraopet can be connected to Hyderabad by constructing a short link railway line to Nekarikallu, which is just 18 km away on New Piduguralla - Savalyapuram section of Guntur railway division, he said.
