Prabhu, who called on the chief minister at the state secretariat, responded positively to the demand for speeding up work on pending railway projects in the state.

KCR said that in view of the increasing population of twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the Moulali and Nagulapally Railway Stations need to be upgraded to full-fledged terminal stations to ease pressure on Secunderabad Railway Station.
