Chittoor Railway Demands: Chronically Neglected By Succesive Govts



These are the longstanding demands pertaining to Chittoor's railway needs and these developments remain essential for the long term growth demands.

1.  Immediate doubling of Tirupati-Katpadi railway line along with electrification. 
This single line presently is already congested and many trains are stopped at intermediate stations like putalapattu,  panapakam and chandragiri for want of clearance of the track. The doubling project was shown to be economically viable and with good returns to SCR. But still this project is under survey only.

2. Fast passenger train from Chittoor to Chennai to facilitate travel between these culturally connected places

3. Survey for Chittoor-Nangili-Bangalore line is complete and will reduce travelling time between Bangalore and Kolkata by about 4 hours. Karnataka people are strongly demanding this line. But no voices being heard from our district netas or even media.

4. Chittoor station building is in dilapidated condition and It is the same what was built by British. It needs immediate modernisation and expansion and a separate ticket booking office.

Today felt very sad reading local newspapers where none of these demands of chittoor are mentioned. Unless we raise our voices through social media, things are not going to change.

We chittoorians can SMS our demands to 8121281212 so that SCR can hear our grievances just at a cost of 1 rupee. Kindly do this and think as this expenditure of 1 ruppee as ideally spent for ManaChittoor.

  7. As usual, AP/Chittoor has got raw deal in this Railway Budget. According to Telugu Newspapers Chittoor hasn't got even single train.

    But after going thru list of new trains, I think following trains should pass through Chittoor, not sure though

    Jaipur-Madurai Premium Express
    Kamakhya-Bengaluru Premium Express
    Tatanagar Baiyyappanahali (Bengaluru) Express(Weekly)

    I'm more or less sure second and third should pass through Chittoor but again considering that they are Premium and Express trains, they may not stop at Chittoor.

    Ok guys, now lets go back to dream mode and wait for next budget!

    1. I believe the problem here is with one particular guy, who is just flooding the comments for all the threads. It has become very annoying and it is becoming hard to find useful comments among his spam.

      It is same spam comments for all the threads.

  14. Though there are no real development projects for chittoor immediately or near future land/house prices have gone too high..
    people seem to be too confident that TDP will develop it like TPT..,but with the recent news about chittoor one should feel that we may be discussing same development plans even in 2020

  15. This comment is especially to our friend who is demanding chittoor as capital/second capital.
    Dear brother, if you look at the reality,we are not even getting the due development programmes at par with other district hqrs. So lets us discuss about them.
    Our burning problems today are immediate widening and improvement of intra city road network, permanent drinking water solution, employment opportunities, highway widening and new railway line/new trains etc etc.So much needs to be done.
    In such a stage, demanding chittoor as a capital doesn't make sense. So Pls discuss other things which nees attention and hopefully we shall see a different chittoor city in coming years.
    Pls don't do repeated posts on this capital issue.
    BeSt Regards

  17. Its simple to develop both Tirupathi and Chittoor together. Divide Chittoor district into two..Balaji & Chittoor. Both districts will be benefitted with all district level sanctions and industries allocation. Once District level sanctions allotted to Chittoor (currently defaulted to TPT) and new industries setup in and around Chittoor, for sure all our wishes will be fulfilled automatically with in quick time.
