Title : Need for construction of a Road Over-bridge on National Highway No. 63 between Ankola – Gooty Section in Bellary city and a Road underbridge at Satyanarayanapet Railway Gate.
SHRI G. KARUNAKARA REDDY (BELLARY): Sir, Bellary city is thickly populated place having population of nearly 4 lakhs. One railway line (LC:110) is crossing at National Highway No 63 between Ankola – Gooty Section. Due to heavy mining activities, number of goods trains carries iron ore to different parts of country which causes frequent closure of railway gates. Due to this, vehicular traffic is frequently jammed. Most of the time, schools buses are also caught in jammed and students also suffered greatly. Road Over Bridge is required to be setup at this place. I am given to understand that his work is included in the Annual Plan for 2004-05.
The foundation stone was laid by the then Minister of State of Railways for construction of Road Under Bridge at Satyanarayanpet Railway Gate, Bellary city in early 2004, but no work has started till now.
As these are long standing demands of the people of Bellary city, I urge upon the Union Government that works on the above mentioned places should be taken up immediately.
