Unique Initiative: Tickets for Survival.!
Despite their efforts, the railway authorities have stipulated that full halting services will only be continued if revenue is generated consistently for three months; otherwise, the train may data-face cancellation. Previously, the Padmavati Express (Secunderabad - Tirupati) had a stop at nekkonda but was subsequently cancelled. The Inter City Express from secunderabad to guntur temporarily halted its services due to the persistent requests of passengers.
In response to the challenges data-faced by the community, residents formed a whatsapp group named "Nekkonda Town Railway Tickets Forum," which has attracted 400 members. Through collective efforts, they have raised donations totaling Rs. 25,000. The daily purchase of railway tickets from nekkonda to various destinations is their way of demonstrating income to the station, hoping to secure additional train stops in their hometown railway station and safeguard its status as an essential transportation hub.
