Mahabubnagar: Union Minister for Tourism G Kishan Reddy flagged off the Mahabubnagar-Visakhapatnam Express at Mahabubnagar Railway Station on Saturday.

According to South Central Railway (SCR) authorities, since there was no direct connectivity from Mahabubnagar to the coastal Andhra Pradesh region, they approved the extension of the previously existing Visakhapatnam Express from Kacheguda (Train No. 12861/12862) till Mahabubnagar.

The Minister appealed to the Divisional Railway Manager, Hyderabad Division, Sharat Chandrayan to take up the construction of a railway bridge on the Mothinagar side which makes people cross the railway track easily in Mahabubnagar.
