Vizianagaram railway station needs a second entrance due to growing passenger traffic, say local leaders. Built between 1893 and 1896, the station is now a major junction in South Coastal Railway. About 180 trains pass through daily, carrying over 35,000 travelers to cities like Chennai, Howrah, and Raipur. Currently, the station has five platforms but only one entrance near Mayuri and Venkateswara theatre junctions. This makes it hard for passengers to reach the station easily. Locals want a new entrance from the Cantonment-Goods shed side for smoother access. Vizianagaram Balaji Market president Buddepu Venkata Rao said, “Cantonment area will develop very quickly when Vizianagaram railway station has two entrances on the lines of Visakhapatnam and Secunderabad stations.” MP Kalisetti Appala Naidu agreed the second entrance is a good idea and promised to meet railway officials soon. Other leaders, including Kapuganti Srinivas and Ravva Srinivas, urged the Union government to also add more platforms to support the station’s growth. They highlighted Vizianagaram’s role as the economic hub of North Andhra. The push for a second entrance aims to make travel easier and support rapid local development.
