## MMTS TRAINS FROM SECUNDERABAD TO GHATKESAR

## 5295. SHRI EATALA RAJENDER:

Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Government is aware that there are only a few MMTS (MultiModal  Transport  System)  trains  that  travel  from  Secunderabad  to Ghatkesar via Cherlapally in Hyderabad and if so, the details thereof;
- (b) whether it is a fact that due to less number of frequency on the said route, the passengers are facing various difficulties in catching the trains from Cherlapally to various destinations due to the renovation and repair work being undertaken in Secunderabad railway station and sometimes many passengers are unable to catch their trains on time as there is no proper connectivity to reach Cherlapally railway station as many trains are now being operated from Cherlapally and if so, the details thereof; and
- (c) the details of the steps taken/being taken by the Government to increase the frequency of MMTS trains by at least running one train for every one hour from Secunderabad to Ghatkesar vice versa via Cherlapally so that it can be useful to the passengers to catch the trains from Cherlapally railway station?
