Delhi High Court: FOB for Soldiers to be Done in 10 Months
Soldiers in Delhi are having to walk through a dirty drain to get to their parade ground.
The Delhi High Court has stepped in and was told that a new bridge will be built within 10 months to help the soldiers avoid the drain.
The government is starting the process to build the bridge.
Until it's built, a temporary bridge will be used.

The FOB will facilitate the movement of Rajputana Rifles soldiers in Delhi Cantonment.
The court directed the Delhi PWD to start issuing tenders for the FOB construction.
