Warangal MP Kadiyam Kavya met with SCR General Manager, advocates for Kazipet Junction improvements, addressing staffing shortages at Kazipet Railway depot and proposed transfer of crue links from Kazipet to Vijayawada depot
Congress MP from Warangal, Kadiyam Kavya, met with South Central Railway (SCR) General Manager Arun Kumar Jain on Wednesday (April 23, 2025), to submit a detailed representation highlighting the need for the resolution of several issues of the Kazipet Junction, an important junction in the South Central Railway zone. She urged the General Manager to restore ‘crew links’ and fill vacant posts at the Kazipet loco running depot.
“The current employee strength at Kazipet is 529, which is short of the sanctioned number of 709,” she said. “Moreover, despite the railway sanctioning 184 new posts for Kazipet loco running station, all of them have been allotted to Vijayawada loco running depot, which already has 589 employees.” She expressed concern over the reported decision to transfer key coaching crew links, including the Krishna, LTT, Konark, and Gautami Express, from Kazipet to Vijayawada depot.
Ms. Kavya pointed out that the proposed transfer would violate the promise made by the railway authorities in a Joint Committee meeting held on July 14, 2022. She urged the General Manager to resolve the issue immediately.
Additionally, Ms. Kavya called for a prompt decision on setting up a bus stand in Kazipet, noting that potential sites had already been evaluated. She also pushed for expedited development at Warangal and Kazipet stations under the Amrit Bharat scheme to meet project timelines.
Additionally, she engaged with the Kazipet Railway Union, advocating for their concerns and also requested the SCR General Manager to resolve their issues. She said that the Mr. Jain had responded constructively and promised to meet the union within three days to tackle their grievances.
Khammam MP R. Raghuram Reddy and Nalgonda MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy joined Ms. Kavya during her meeting with the SCR General Manager.
