For strengthening rail connectivity in the State, the Ministry of Railways has sanctioned nearly 15 Final Location Survey (FLS) for New Railway Lines, the South Central Railway (SCR) officials said on Wednesday. These lines combined stretch for a distance of nearly 2,647 kms and are estimated to cost nearly Rs 50,848 crore

Apart from these, another 11 FLS have been sanctioned for Doubling, Tripling and Quadrupling for a distance of nearly 2,588 kms and is estimated to cost nearly Rs 32,695 crore.

The Patancheruvu (Nagalapalli) – Adilabad New Railway Line is one of the important projects for which Final
