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.
