Kunaram ROB Construction Delays Cause Traffic Chaos
The Kunaram Railway Over Bridge (ROB) in Peddapalli district is very important for connecting different places.
It was supposed to be finished in two years, but after nearly three years, only 40% of the work is done.
This is causing big traffic jams because the railway gate closes many times a day.
People are having a hard time getting to hospitals and other places on time.
The roads are also in bad shape, making travel dangerous.
Political parties are blaming each other for the delay and are asking the government to fix the problem quickly.
The bridge is important for making travel easier in the future, but right now, it's causing a lot of trouble.
The Kunaram ROB project, costing ₹119.5 crore, is a joint venture of the Central and State governments.
Construction began in October 2022 with a two-year completion target, but only 40% is done after nearly three years.
Delays are attributed to financial and managerial oversight lapses, and inadequate on-site supervision.
The railway gate's frequent closures cause severe traffic congestion, with vehicle queues stretching several kilometers.
Political parties are blaming each other for the delays and demanding immediate government intervention to expedite the project.
