Nagpur is the second capital of Maharashtra and has a population of about 35 lakhs. With the existing size, population, workload, accessibility, traffic pattern and other operating and administrative requirements consistent with the needs of economy and efficiency, the creation of a separate zone with its headquarter at Nagpur has become the absolute necessity. <\/p>\n<p>It appears that two new zones have been created with their headquarters at Raipur and Bilaspur in one State without any detailed examination and not taking into consideration the importance of Nagpur accruing due to its central location and other inherent advantages.\n<\/p>\n<p>It was assured way back in 1999 that the interest of Nagpur would be kept in view while reviewing the reorganization of railway zones.\n<\/p>\n<p>I would, therefore, urge upon the Hon\u00e2\u0080\u0099ble Railway Minister to create a separate railway zone with its headquarter at Nagpur.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Need For Creation Of A Separate Railway Zone With Its Headquarter At &#8230; on 17 July, 2002 Title: Need for creation of a separate railway zone with its headquarter at Nagpur in Maharashtra- Laid.
