Sunday, 25 August 2019 | Staff Reporter | RAIPUR

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel dedicated Gondwara-Gudihiyari Railway over-bridge (ROB) on Urkura-Sarona by-pass railway line on Saturday in capital city Raipur. It has been constructed at a cost of Rs 51.62 lakh.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister said the old demand of the people of the area for an over bridge on this busiest railway route has been fulfilled. It would facilitate around 2 lakh people. State government would do everything possible for the development of Raipur city, he said, adding his government would ensure that roads, bridges and buildings were constructed within the time-frame without compromising on quality.

He urged all public representatives to extend active cooperation in development of the state as geographically it is the 9th biggest in the country. It needs National Highway, state highways and other roads especially in Naxal areas, he said.

He urged Member of Parliament Sunil Soni and Rajya Sabha member Chhaya Verma to take up with the Centre to provide cent percent aid for construction of roads in Naxal areas as against present norms of 60:40 contribution between central and state governments.

Presiding over the event, PWD minister Tamradwaj Sahu said the state government is making all efforts to provide better transportation facilities to people.

It was informed that the total length of bridge is 475 metre and width is 13 metres while the approach road to Gudhiyari is 130 metres and towards Gondwara is 141 metres.
