Bhubaneswar, Nov 28 (UNI) BJD members in the Odisha Assembly on Thursday expressed concern over the Centre’s decision to create the South Coast Railway Zone, a new railway zone with its headquarters in Visakhapatnam, by splitting the East Coast Railway Zone.
Raising the issue during Zero Hour, Sarada Prasan Jena and Gautam Buddha Das of the BJD stated that the Union government is planning to split the East Coast Railway Zone and form a new zone by transferring the Waltair Division from East Coast Railway to appease Andhra Pradesh.
They warned that if this plan is implemented, the East Coast Railway would lose approximately Rs 10,000 crore per year in revenue and urged the state government to intervene.
