The previous alignment of Papatapalli-Miryalaguda railway line affected the interests of people of 12 village panchayats of Khammam Rural, Mudigonda, Nelakondapalli mandals and small farmers.

Hence union Railway Minister and chairman of the Railway Board were asked to change the originally proposed alignment. They agreed to conduct a survey again and construct a new railway line without any inconvenience to the people and farmers, the MP said.
