The South Central Railway has taken up a new project connecting the tribal habitations in Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Telangana States.

The Minister said the new railway project, which would act as an alternative route between Asansol and Warangal, would benefit Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The new line would provide alternate connectivity to the Agency districts in Odisha during cyclones, even if the rail routes get affected in Howrah-Vijayawada coastal route, the Railway Minister said.
