Indian Railways
Trains blocking roadways for hours due to new platform being installed

I am a resident of Gavara kancharapalem, Visakhapatnam. Due to two new platforms being installed in the Vizag central railway station, the trains which approach at busy hours to the station are held up at 2-3 kms away from the Central Station for clearance of available platforms. The area which is 2-3 km away to the station is Gavara Kancharapalem. People residing in this area are facing a lot of problems, the worst case being that an ambulance can t reach the area when the situation demands. People including pedestrians and vehicle owners are facing lot of difficulties in their daily life. Well we ve respected their (SE Railways) concern in developing two more platforms at central station and due to that the trains had to be held up. But after the process being initiated 3 years back, as of now the platforms are yet to be constructed and the trains are still being held up. I, on behalf of all residents of Gavara kancharapalem asking the south central railways to increase the labour for completion of work immediately and also to take this issue very seriously, before something worse can happen. Hoping that day comes very soon.
