Infrastructure Logistics - Railways Kakinada SEZ: Rail passengers flay Govt move Our Bureau
Kakinada , Jan. 31 THE State Government's proposal to allot 10,000 acres of land in Kakinada rural, Kothapalli and Uppada mandals to the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) for setting up a refinery and special economic zone has drawn flak from the Cocanada Town Passengers Association, "as the move will obstruct the laying of the proposed rail line from Kakinada to Pithapuram." In a statement here, the association President and veteran freedom fighter, Mr S.S. Krishnaji said: "The people are now being compelled to launch an agitation to stop the Government's move." He said the alienation of this vast tract of land would set at naught all the efforts put in by the association and general public of Kakinda to bring the Port Town station on the Chennai-Howrah trunk route. This was a travesty of justice and deserved condemnation in strong terms, he said. ``The Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, has not been properly apprised of the implications of this proposal,'' he said, and appealed to him to reconsider the decision and allow the Union Government to go ahead with the laying of the line.
