Nekkonda Residents Advocate for More Train Stops
People in Nekkonda are asking for more trains to stop at their local train station.
This station is important because it serves a lot of people, around 15,000 to 20,000, who need to travel to places like Vijayawada and Hyderabad.
The station makes a lot of money, about ₹65,000 a day, from people buying tickets.
Recently, a fast train called the Intercity Express stopped making a stop there, which made it harder for people to travel.
Local leaders are talking to the railway officials to get the train to stop there again and to add more stops for other trains.
The government has said they will bring back the Intercity Express stop soon.
Nekkonda Railway Station users are requesting more train stops.
The station serves 15,000-20,000 people from nine nearby mandals.
The Nekkonda station generates around ₹65,000 daily in ticket revenue.
The Intercity Superfast Express halt was recently cancelled, causing inconvenience.
The Union minister assured a permanent halt for the Intercity Express.
