Punjab CM Inaugurates Multania Railway Overbridge in Bathinda
The Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, opened a new railway overbridge in Bathinda.
This overbridge is very long, about 1 kilometer, and wider than the old one.
It was built to help with the city's traffic because many railway lines pass through Bathinda, making it an important place.
The old bridge was not good enough for all the traffic, so the government decided to build a new one using the old pillars.
The Chief Minister also announced that another overbridge will be built at Janta Nagar.
This new bridge will be about 650 meters long and will have a wider road for cars and a bigger service road.
The government has started the process to build it, and it will cost a lot of money.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann inaugurated the reconstructed Multania railway overbridge in Bathinda.
The new overbridge is 1 km long and 34.5 feet wide, constructed at a cost of Rs 38.08 crore.
Mann announced the construction of another railway overbridge at Janta Nagar to ease traffic problems.
The proposed Janta Nagar overbridge will be 650 meters long with a 31-foot-wide carriageway.
The adjoining service road at Janta Nagar will be widened from 18 feet to 33 feet.
