Expedite Outer Regional Ring Railway line, Chamala asks in Lok Sabha
Raising the matter under Section 377 in Parliament, the MP stressed on the national and strategic importance of the project, highlighting its alignment with the Prime Minister's vision of Vikshit Bharat-2047. The ambitious railway corridor, estimated at a cost of ₹12,000 crore, is designed to encircle the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region, covering eight districts and 14 mandals across Telangana. The line will run parallel to the proposed Regional Ring Road (RRR) and is expected to include 6 rail-over-rail (ROR) bridges.
'This project will act as a catalyst for economic growth, urbanisation, and industrial expansion,' he said, adding that the railway ring will help unlock new growth corridors, catalyse urbanisation of nearly 60% of the state, and enable job creation on a large scale.

"Has His Reasons": Shashi Tharoor On Rahul Gandhi's "Dead Economy" Remark
Mumbai: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday refused to comment on party leader Rahul Gandhi's endorsing US President Donald Trump's 'dead economy' remark about India and said the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha may have had his "own reasons" for saying so. The remarks came after Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to the mediapersons, Tharoor said, "I don't want to comment on what my party leader has said. He has his reasons for saying so. My concern is that our relationship with the US, as a strategic and economic partnership, is important for us. We are exporting around 90 billion worth of goods to America. We can't be in a position to lose that or have it diminish significantly." "We must wish our negotiators strength to get a fair deal for India. We should also be talking to other regions for exporting our goods. Then we could make up for some of what we might lose in the US. We have to support our negotiators," he added. Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday agreed with US President Donald Trump's statement that the Indian economy is "dead" and said he is "glad" that the US President has stated a fact. Speaking to reporters, Rahul Gandhi said that the whole world knows the Indian economy is "dead" except for the Prime Minister and Finance Minister. "Yes, he is right. Everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact. The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. BJP has finished the economy to help Adani," Rahul Gandhi said. On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump made a shocking statement on his social media platform Truth Social after the announcement of 25 percent tariffs against India and threatened an additional "penalty" for importing Russian oil.
