25 years on, Konaseema Railway Line project yet to get on track
Twenty‑five years after its foundation stone was laid, the 57‑kilometre Kotipalli‑Narsapur railway line, which would include three bridges over the Godavari River, remains unbuilt. Residents of Konaseema attribute the stall to successive governments’ inaction and a perceived lack of political will, noting the project's absence has hurt local trade, tourism and connectivity. The Hindu examines the causes of the delay.
