Why Nonsense...!!! Shri P.V.Narasimha Rao deserves this honour and he is the Son of Telangana. Hope you dont know the history.. but commenting on this board. If you question the trend, then you have to go to USA and question why the Federal Administration named John F Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York City, and Karnataka naming Intl Airport as Kempe Gowda International Airport etc and many more in the world. Better those people opposing naming of Secunderabad Railway Station as "P.V.Narasimha Rao Terminus" should start reading books about PV, and then comment. And the demand for Light Metro at Aurangabad in Marathwada and in Warangal-Hanamkonda-Kazipet tricity deserves recognition.

Naming city is different. Naming a Railway Station having Terminus status is valid.

Great News. This region and particularly this route deserves the allocation of funds, as it reduces the distance of travel by rail. Also this line becomes important transit route in future.

Beware All....
The fortune earned by IR from the 200+ Passengers travelling in chaches with less than 100 seats/berths is going to unwanted Tenders. For example: in various Railway Zones and Division, just for the sake of making the Contractors 'Carodpatis', our own gallant Engineering Officials (right from AEN level to DEN/Sr.DEN to Dy.CE to PCE and importantly ME level) officers float fictitious RFPs/Tenders for various civil engineering works like construction of boundary walls in Railway lands with specific depth/width/height/length. Some contractor bags the contract. He will never fulfill the job with quality leave alone the depth/width/height/length aspects. Concerned Engg staff will prepare the Measurement Books as all perfect and close the case. Contractor gets the payment.
Again

by next 1 or 2 years, the new story begins with heading "Estimates for Repairs to the 8 Kms Compound Wall adjoining the boundary of Railway land on the XXXX and XXXX station" with some crores of rupees as the budget. The file will be put up as per Pink Book Sanctions!!!!
This exercise of manipulating the Funds and Wasting the Public Money is rampant on Indian Railways.
Did you ever find a Stores officer (COS) with a peaceful, cheerful and happy look!! Never... becoz this post is also highly corrupt.
Calling NRIs for maintenance / adopting of Stations should not have cropped up at all, had the Railway Administration eradicates such menace from Indian Railways and its officials.

Yes. This cop, particularly who is from "Bangalore" deserves highest recognition. Some time back, a couple aged 60+ years arrived Bangalore City Station to reach their son-in-law house wherein, they were also carrying Gold, Silver and costly Sarees pertaining to their newly wed daughter. Very unfortunately, both the couples were grilled by 5 different auto drivers and every auto fellow resorted to taking away the luggage bags of those aged parents. The couple could not control anyone stop taking away their luggage. Finally when someone came to their rescue, some auto fellow fled away from the scene, but to their dismay, the luggage having valuables were totally lost. I could enter the spot after the incident happened and tried to catch the culprits with the help of local Traffic and Civil Polices, but to our utter dismay, they were least bothered.

then telephoned to their son-in-law who arrived the City Station by around 11.30 (from his office), and we both registered a complaint. Surprisingly, in this GLOBAL CITY i.e. Bangalore, 98% of the Traffic Police are HIGHLY CORRUPT. Needless to mention about Politicians who are known for their myopic and psychologically mad mentality in Karnataka. Bureaucratic lot of Bangalore are mere 'watch-dogs'.
Save Bangalore.

This is not a Hi-tech Equipment. Simple electronic interlocking control cabin panel. if someone from other developed nations looks at this article they could laugh at us. Pls avoid posting such news.
