Minister inspects construction of an ROB in Urapakkam
Minister for Public Works and Highways E.V. Velu on Sunday said works to construct rail over-bridges (ROB)/rail under-bridges to replace railway gates at 50 locations in the State would be speeded up. Speaking to reporters after inspecting the construction of an ROB in Urapakkam to replace level-crossing 36, he said the works were progressing very slowly due to reasons including delay in the completion of land acquisition. “I have directed the respective engineers to approach Members of Parliament and Members of Legislative Assembly to help them in this regard, so the works may be completed on time, keeping the convenience of the public in mind,” he said.More Related News
