Rail overbridge to be built at Fourth Gate near new bus stand in Thoothukudi for smoother traffic movement.
A rail overbridge will be built at Fourth Gate, situated west of the new bus stand, Minister for Social Welfare P. Geetha Jeevan said.
After handing over computer patta to 90 persons in Thoothukudi on Thursday, Ms. Geetha said steps have been taken to build the RoB at Fourth Gate and the railway ministry has admitted that there is feasibility for constructing the bridge for hassle-free movement of traffic. Hence, construction work would start soon, she said.
The Minister informed that the State government had given ₹425 crore for infrastructure development works in Thoothukudi Corporation alone.
Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot has sought a report from the State government on a complaint that the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) had taken up works amounting to ₹387 crore in violation of rules in Varuna and Srirangapatna Assembly constituencies, allegedly on Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s oral instructions.
