The hopes of the people of the district for extension of the Mumbai-Nanded Devagiri Express train to Nizamabad, consequent to the conversion of the Dharmabad-Nizamabad section into broad gauge (BG), have temporarily been belied, with some political parties and Railway Sangharsh Samitis of the neighbouring Nanded district of Maharashtra objecting to the extension.

The Devagiri Express would have been extended to Nizamabad from the day the newly-converted BG line was thrown open to passenger traffic.

When he entered the boundaries of Devagiri, the Yadava king Raja Rama Chandra belatedly woke up and decided to offer some resistance.
