MoS V. Somanna Lays ROB Foundation
A big stone was put in the ground to start building a bridge that will go over train tracks.
This is at a place called Hitnal, between two other places called Ginigera and Munirabad.
The bridge will cost a lot of money, about ₹26.97 crore, and the train people are paying for it all.
Many important people were there to watch the stone being put in the ground.
This bridge will make it safer for cars and trains to cross each other.
V. Somanna, Minister of State for Railways and Jal Shakti, laid the foundation stone for a Road Over Bridge (ROB) at Hitnal.
The ROB will replace Level Crossing No. 77 between Ginigera and Munirabad.
The project is estimated to cost ₹26.97 crore and will be fully funded by the Railways.
The event was attended by various dignitaries including ministers, MPs, MLAs, and senior railway officials.
The ROB aims to improve regional rail and road infrastructure.
