Impose penalty on official for delay in ROB construction: MP

BJP Member of Parliament (MP) from Bhiwani Mahendragarh Dharambir Singh has directed the district administration to fix the accountability of the officer concerned for the delay in the construction of the Railway Over Bridge (ROB) being built near the local Krishna Colony and impose a fine on the officer.

Dharambir Singh was addressing the District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee meeting at the DRDA hall of the Mini Secretariat in Bhiwani today.

Hisar MP Jai Prakash was also present at the meeting.

Dharambir Singh said the construction of the ROB had been delayed by about one and a half years and the cost of the construction work would increase due to this delay. “This cost should be recovered from the officer concerned as penalty,” he said.

Meanwhile, Railways official Dinesh Purohit said the approach work on the ROB was pending and the sewer line had to be shifted. As soon as this work is completed, which is the responsibility of the local administration, the Railways would complete its part of the work within 10 days, the Railways official said.

The MP also reviewed the progress of the ROB being constructed near the Loharu ROB in Bhiwani district. The official informed the MP that the work of the Foot Over Bridge (FOB) at the Bhiwani City Railway Station would be completed in the month of February.

At the meeting, the MP also directed to prepare a proposal for an underpass near Ramnagar-DC Colony. The Railways official informed the MP that under the Gate Free India Scheme of the Central Government, 30 railway gates of the district would be removed and underpasses would be constructed in their place.
