CHITTOOR RAILWAY STATION BUILDING - LETS BRING SOME CHANGE

Dear Friends,

As part of ManaChittoor family, and as members of CRTA(Chittoor Rail Travelers Association) we have represented several problems and got them corrected with our team effort.


# Anyone who has visited CTO(Chittoor) station building might have observed that it has become very old and dilapidated. This has remained the same since the days of meter guauge. It just looks lika a village station from the looks of the building.

# Though CTO has become a major station with 56 trains running through it and earning good revenues, SCR has neglected about the state of CTO station building and Concourse.

# Even smaller stations of guntakal and also other divisions of SCR has got better buildings with good elevation etc.


* CTO has remained the same because of no representation from our city in any manner.

Now if you really want to change this, we all can bring some change by spending just "1" rupee each. SCR listens. Yes they really record if its from public and take action.

Just send SMS from your mobile phone (only one sms per number) to 8121281212 .Mention why CTO station building is neglected and facilities should be improved.


Pls dont forget to post your replies from railways in the comments section.

AMARRAJA STARTS CHITTOOR UNIT- NEWS REPORT

xtending its business base in the district, Amara Raja Batteries Limited group, belonging to the Galla family, announced its expansion by launching the world's largest integrated medium VRLA plant at Nunegundlapalli near Chittoor on Sunday.

The first factory in the 500 acre land, set up with an outlay of `350 crore, was inaugurated here on Sunday. With an employment generation capacity of 1,500 in the first plant, the plant can manufacture 3.5 million UPS batteries every year, ARBL managing director Galla Ramachandra Naidu said.

"The second plant is under construction and two more plants--one for tubular and other for plastic--will soon commence operations. The second unit, with an outlay of `350 crore, would provide jobs to another 1,500 people," he said.

Emphasising that the company will focus on employment generation, Ramachandra Naidu said, "Chittoor is enveloped with barren hills. There is no agriculture and only industries here are dairy and poultry. For the economic growth of the district, industries are the only option and we are providing them.''

Ramachandraiah Naidu said after the completion of all the plants, the company will provide jobs to as many as 20,000 persons.

Speaking on the occasion, ABRL vice-chairman and managing director Galla Jayadev said the UPS batteries cater to the need of industries and can be used domestically too.

He said Chittoor is a strategic location for development of industries. "Every one thinks that Chittoor is not viable as it is far off from the capital, Hyderabad. But, it is a strategic location as it is located three hours away from Chennai and Bangalore,'' he said.

Jayadev said economic development will increase commercial activity at the place and also nearby towns. "Thanks to our Karakambadi plant, which is providing employment to 17,000 persons, the local economy increased by 30 per cent in Tirupati. Similarly, with a potential of 30,000 here, Chittoor town and nearby villages will develop,'' he said.

On their future plans, Jayadev said though they have not yet finalised, they are going to invest in other districts including in coastal Andhra and Telangana.

District collector K Ramgopal, Putalapattu MLA Dr Ravi and others also took part.
