Railways to Fully Fund Pithapuram ROB
The Railways will pay for a new bridge called a Railway Over Bridge (ROB) in Pithapuram.
This is because Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan asked for it.
Officials have already checked the place where the bridge will be built and are now calculating how much it will cost.
Once they have the cost, they will send it to the Railway Board for approval.
This bridge will help make the traffic in Pithapuram move more smoothly and safely.
Railways will fully fund the proposed Railway Over Bridge (ROB) at Pithapuram under the PM Gati Shakti Scheme.
The project was initiated following a request by Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan.
A joint field inspection of the proposed bridge site has been completed, and cost estimates are being prepared.
