Shiv Sena MP Sandipan Bhumre presses for Marathwada railway division

Shiv Sena MP Sandipan Bhumre presses for Marathwada railway division

A politician named Sandipan Bhumre is asking the Indian government to give a region called Marathwada its own railway office.

Right now, trains in Marathwada are looked after by the Nanded Division of South Central Railway.

Mr. Bhumre thinks his region needs its own railway division to get better trains and stations.

He wrote a letter to the Railway Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, asking for this.

He had asked before on July 8, 2026, but nothing had been done yet.

So he went to Delhi to remind the minister again.

He says Marathwada is a big, growing area with more people, factories and tourists.

A separate railway division could help build new tracks, improve stations and speed up repairs.

It could also help famous places like Ajanta and Ellora get more visitors.

Now the Railway Minister needs to decide whether to approve the idea.
