Warangal MP Kavya urges SCR GM to fill vacant posts at Kazipet loco running depot
Congress MP from Warangal, Kadiyam Kavya, met with South Central Railway (SCR) General Manager Arun Kumar Jain on Wednesday (April 23, 2025), to submit a detailed representation highlighting the need for the resolution of several issues of the Kazipet Junction, an important junction in the South Central Railway zone. She urged the General Manager to restore 'crew links' and fill vacant posts at the Kazipet loco running depot. 'The current employee strength at Kazipet is 529, which is short of the sanctioned number of 709,' she said. 'Moreover, despite the railway sanctioning 184 new posts for Kazipet loco running station, all of them have been allotted to Vijayawada loco running depot, which already has 589 employees.' She expressed concern over the reported decision to transfer key coaching crew links, including the Krishna, LTT, Konark, and Gautami Express, from Kazipet to Vijayawada depot. Ms. Kavya pointed out that the proposed transfer would violate the promise made by the railway authorities in a Joint Committee meeting held on July 14, 2022. She urged the General Manager to resolve the issue immediately. Additionally, Ms. Kavya called for a prompt decision on setting up a bus stand in Kazipet, noting that potential sites had already been evaluated. She also pushed for expedited development at Warangal and Kazipet stations under the Amrit Bharat scheme to meet project timelines. Additionally, she engaged with the Kazipet Railway Union, advocating for their concerns and also requested the SCR General Manager to resolve their issues. She said that the Mr. Jain had responded constructively and promised to meet the union within three days to tackle their grievances. Khammam MP R. Raghuram Reddy and Nalgonda MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy joined Ms. Kavya during her meeting with the SCR General Manager.

Don't undermine importance of Kazipet junction: kavya
Hanamkonda: Warangal MP Dr Kadiyam Kavya on Wednesday urged the South Central Railway General Manager not to reduce the importance of the Kazipet junction under any circumstances. At Secunderabad railway station she submitted a petition to GM Arun Kumar Jain, requesting resolution of pending railway issues in her constituency. The MP emphasised that Kazipet junction is a crucial point in the SCR zone and its importance should not be diminished. She raised concerns about the transfer of Kazipet loco running depot staff to Vijayawada and questioned why no efforts are being made to fill posts at Kazipet. She noted that while 709 employees are sanctioned at Kazipet, only 526 are working. Although 184 posts have been approved, no efforts have been made to fill them, resulting in an excessive burden on the staff. She mentioned that the railway authorities have decided to shift key coaching crew links. Despite the assurance given by the authorities in a joint committee meeting on July 14, 2022, trains--Krishna, LTT, Konark and Gowthami--are being shifted from Kazipet to Vijayawada. These trains are being operated from Vijayawada starting Tuesday, although they were previously handled by the Kazipet depot in both up and down routes. She requested these four crew links be continued from Kazipet, as before.
