South Central Railway Cites Short Notice for Denying Congress Special Train Request
The South Central Railway (SCR) declined the Telangana Congress's request for a special train from Secunderabad to New Delhi for a November 1 rally, citing short notice and operational constraints. SCR explained that arranging such a service requires advance planning, coordination among multiple railway zones, and resource availability. Telangana Congress protested at SCR headquarters over the denial, but the railway emphasized the decision was due to logistical challenges, not unwillingness to assist.
