Haribabu cites technical snags for rly zone

The election of Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu to the Rajya Sabha from Andhra Pradesh and an announcement of a railway zone for Visakhapatnam are not directly related, Vizag BJP MP Haribabu says. Haribabu told newsmen on Wednesday that there were some technical snags in respect to a railway zone in Visakhapatnam. For instance, the South-Central Railway was opposed to the new zone. While there was no clear-cut solution, the BJP MP claimed he would bring in the railway zone for Vizag before his term as MP ended. Suresh Prabhu, who arrived in Hyderabad to file his nomination, did not broach the subject at all to the disappointment of the Andhras.
