Rayagada Railway Div a non-starter

The planned Rayagada Railway Division in Odisha, announced in 2019, faces significant delays despite the upcoming South Coast Railway (SCoR) Zone headquarters inauguration in Visakhapatnam. A tender for the initial phase (Rs 108 crore) was floated in August 2024, but delays in the bidding process have fueled speculation of intentional...

postponement. Concerns exist regarding political pressures from Andhra Pradesh and the potential diminishing of Visakhapatnam's prominence. The Rayagada Division would oversee railway tracks and stations in six districts (Rayagada, Gajapati, Koraput, Nabarangpur, Malkangiri, and Nuapada), currently under Visakhapatnam's jurisdiction (255 km of Odisha's network). The BJP's silence, coupled with Congress's dominance in Koraput district, is cited as a possible reason for the delay. MLA Appalaswami Kadraka alleges the announcement was merely for electoral gain.

2019 mein announce kiya gaya Odisha ka Rayagada Railway Division, abhi tak delay face kar raha hai, Visakhapatnam mein South Coast Railway (SCoR) Zone headquarters ke inauguration ke baad bhi.

postpone hone ka shak hai. Andhra Pradesh se political pressure aur Visakhapatnam ke importance kam hone ki bhi chinta hai. Rayagada Division chhe districts (Rayagada, Gajapati, Koraput, Nabarangpur, Malkangiri, aur Nuapada) ke railway tracks aur stations ko dekhbhal karega, jo abhi Visakhapatnam Division (Odisha ke 255 km network) ke under hai. BJP ka khamosh rehna aur Koraput district mein Congress ka dominance, is delay ki ek possible wajah hai. MLA Appalaswami Kadraka ka kehna hai ki yeh announcement sirf chunav mein fayda lene ke liye tha.
