Araku Member of Parliament Gumma Thanuja Rani on Thursday (April 16, 2026) urged the railway authorities to reopen the Chinabhogili railway gate, saying it was the only route of travel for nearly 10,000 people across five villages of Parvatipuram-Manyam district.

In a press release, Ms. Thanuja Rani said the underpass built as a replacement had been constructed nearly 1 km away, and it was difficult for pedestrians to walk the distance carrying agricultural produce.
