There are issues relating to the boundaries of the new zone. Once the boundaries are confirmed, steps for the establishment of railway zone in will commence, the MP mentioned.

“Railway zone to Visakhapatnam”, is one of the vows BJP has promised to the state of Andhra Pradesh during the 2014 elections campaign.
