The minister said the committee constituted to decide on it, told the Railway Ministry to consult the MPs and state governments involved before taking a final decision. He told the house that the ministry is on it.

Special Railway Zone with Visakhapatnam as Head Quarter is one of the prime poll promise of BJP to the truncated state. It was also a part of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act but the center is intentionally denying it to be in good books of the Orissa government.
