Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Tuesday directed officials to prepare project report for the bullet train and high speed rail projects so as to ensure setting up of a railway station near Anantagiri in Vikarabad district on the Hyderabad-Pune railway line.

He said by establishing a station at Anantagiri, it could be developed with transport facilities to the IT corridor in Hyderabad. Besides this, he suggested stations at Bharat Future City, Mannanur (Nallamala), near Somasila keeping in mind the tourism potential for the proposed Hyderabad-Bengaluru high speed rail line.
