To include portion of 'colonial' Waltair division, which will be renamed Visakhapatnam division

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @New Delhi

THE Union Cabinet on Friday approved the establishment of a new zone of the Indian Railways - South Coast Railway. This will include a portion of the Waltair division, which will be renamed the Visakhapatnam division.

The new railway zone has been created in accordance with the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act and is expected to improve efficiency in railway operations. The decision is a partial modification of the Cabinet's earlier decision in February 2019, which had retained the Waltair division in truncated form and renamed it the Visakhapatnam division.

A government release said that 'Waltair' is a colonial legacy that needed to be changed, explaining the name change.
