Title: Need to construct a bridge on river Ghaghra in Sitapur district, Uttar Pradesh.
SHRI RAJESH VERMA (SITAPUR): I wish to bring to the notice of the Government regarding the long pending demand of the people for a bridge over Ghaghra River on Sitapur-Bhahraich Road in Sitapur District of Uttar Pradesh.
         Sitapur, sugar belt of Uttar Pradesh is a backward area and its economy is based mainly on the sugar. However, the infrastructural facilities, available in this region, are poor. The commuters as well as the transporters have to depend on this road and face a lot of difficulties in the absence of a bridge at this location.
         It is learnt that necessary sanctions have been accorded but the execution of work has not started as yet. I request the Government to take up the construction work of bridge on a war footing.
