Senior railway trade union leader and Divisional Railway Users’ Consultative Committee (DRUCC) member Chalasani Gandhi has urged the South Coast Railway (SCoR) zone administration to expand passenger amenities and infrastructure across north Andhra.

In a representation submitted to the SCoR General Manager, Mr. Gandhi said that while the new zone’s headquarters in Visakhapatnam had come after decades of public struggle, the revenue generated from the region had often not matched the money spent on passenger amenities during the Waltair Division era.
