Sangareddy: The long-cherished dream of Sangareddy and Medak citizens to have a railway facility is all set to be realised with South Central Railway (SCR) authorities, who completed a thorough survey of the project, sending a proposal to the State government seeking Rs 1,764.92 for the project in the 2021-22 budget.

The 89.10-km long railway track connects four important towns-Patancheru-Sangareddy-Jogipet and Medak-towns in the erstwhile Medak district apart from connecting several other small towns and villages en route benefitting lakhs of people. The railway line will start at Nagulapally village near Patancheru and ends at Medak town. The cost for each KM of railway track was put at Rs 19.81 crore by the authorities.
