BJP MP from Chandrapur Hansraj Ahir today said the Railway Convention Committee (RCC), during its recent visit to the city, was apprised of the need for creation of new railway zone with headquarters in Nagpur. "RCC, which visited Nagpur to oversee the ongoing projects, was convinced with the proposal of merging Central Railway and South East Central Railway divisions and curving out some parts of South Central Railway from Nanded and Beed to create a new zone," he said at a press conference here. Ahir is also a member RCC. He said RCC also looked into frequency of trains to Pune and introduction of new direct trains to Chennai and New Delhi from Nagpur. Ahir said RCC was requested to run Nagpur-Mumbai Nandigram Express in two parts - one to Pune and another to Mumbai. At present, most of the travellers do not go up to Mumbai from Nagpur by this train, he pointed out. Though the Railways had assured to run Nagpur-Mumbai Duranto Express on a daily basis, the frequency has not yet been increased from three times a week, Ahir told to RCC. PTI JOE
