MP calls for decentralisation of railway administration
Kannur MP K. Sudhakaran has called for the decentralization of railway administration to allow local decision-making in Kannur. He argues that current requirements for Palakkad division approval cause unnecessary delays for infrastructure and development projects.
Why it matters

Congress leader and Kannur MP K. Sudhakaran on Tuesday (June 30, 2026) called for the decentralisation of railway administration by enabling routine railway-related decisions to be taken in Kannur instead of requiring approval from the Palakkad Railway Division office.
