The repair work of the 4.1 kilometers long road-cum-rail bridge across Godavari river commenced on Wednesday. Many critical facilities of the bridge required repair as per the recent assessment of the structural stability of the bridge that connects the erstwhile West Godavari district with the erstwhile East Godavari district between Rajamahendravaram City and Kovvur.
East Godavari District Collector K. Madhavilatha has said that the repair work has been targeted to be completed by October 26. “₹2.1 crore is being spent on the repair work of the bridge. There will be no changes in the schedules of the train movements during the drive. However, all the vehicular movements on the roadway of the bridge have been stopped and diverted via two ways: 4th bridge and Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage at Dowleswaram to enter into the Rajamahendravaram City”. The Roads and Buildings Department is executing the drive.
“All the heavy vehicles, mostly lorries and bus services connecting to various cities in South India, are allowed to enter the Rajamahendravaram City through Godavari’s 4th bridge - Gammon bridge. Local bus services plied by RTC will have to enter the city via Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage”, said East Godavari SP P. Jagadeesh.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
