People of vizag not getting enough trains even though they are fighting from them from years. VSKP station not only utilized by 20 lakh people of vizag city...Its for 50 lakh Visakhapatnam city and also many people from Vijayanagaram, Srikakulam district's also use this station. Vizag is home for PSU such as HPCL,NTPC,BHEL-BHPV,HSL,SAIL..etc. Also its a Head of eastern naval command head quarter of india which is having more than 1lakh employs at vizag it self. Also vizag is a tourist place with many film industries like Telugu, Bengali, Oriya will shoot here. Vskp division selling around 20000-30000 general tickets every day shows the demand of this station.

If people from VSKP and uthharandra retaliate, consider what the situation could be......VSKP has got the reputation to be a very peaceful city...but these agitations are just because of Daylight bias....

VSKP is not being given its importance....its simple...Why should trains originating at BBS i.e. VSKP's home zone bypass VSKP??? Very strange....I dont think it happens anywhere in India......People of VSKP are just fed up seeing these kind of moves.....

ECoR has a great responsibility to develop VSKP and make it a good model station or develop it into a Terminal,as it is the highest earner...and see how much it has spent on developing VSKP...

All this is fine...when u compare the population of VSKP and Bhubaneswar stats indicate that Bhubaneswar and Cuttack combined will reach a population oF 2.5 million only after next 5-10 years...But the Population of VSKP along with its suburbs is close to 3 million already....

Seeing these stats one can simply justify the demand of trains from VSKP to many major cities of India......and this same reason can be cited for the demand of not to extend trains to BBS.... VSKP needs dedicated weekly and Biweekly trains especially to the following destinations....
Bangalore
Gandhidham
Tirupati
Chennai
Trivandrum
Ahmedabad
Jodhpur
Dehradun
Varanasi
Mangalore
Mysore...
There have been demands in the past for some of these trains but unfortunately were not granted...
