Rly doubling to be complete by 2021: GM Vinod Kumar Yadav

Eluru: Railway General Manager Vinod Kumar Yadav has said the railway doubling works between Vijayawada and Narsapur will be completed by March 2021.

He inspected works relating to railway bridge on Upputeru as part of doubling works between Akiveedu and Moturu on Tuesday.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that the doubling works of Akiveedu-Moturu line would be completed by March next. 

The works relating to Vijayawada-Nidadavole, Bhimavaram-Narsapur and Gudivada-Machilipatnam were in progress. 

The railway bridge on Upputeru was nearing completion. As the delta area needs more bridges on canals, the entire doubling works would take time. 

The works were divided into five parts and assigned to contractors. A meeting of contractors was also convened and they were asked to complete the works as per the schedule, he informed.

The GM said that they were planning to announce a special schedule for Sabarimala devotees shortly.
