Title: Need to release funds for early completion of rail over-bridge on Dinapur-Tinsukia rail links at Dimapur city, Nagaland.
SHRI K.A. SANGTAM (NAGALAND): On the Dimapur-Tinsukia rail links, in the heart of Dimapur city in Nagaland, a rail over-bridge on the main road is under construction for almost a decade. The State has already completed the fly-over on this road and is now put to use. But the second over-bridge construction which is undertaken by the Union Government could not be completed due to paucity of funds.
The State Government has made several requests to the Ministry of Surface Transport for early completion of the bridge but no action seems to have been taken to initiate work on this project. Because of this, movement of vehicles on this stretch of road is causing a great inconvenience to the public and thereby endangering the lives of the people. Movement of traffic is affected severely and many a time, unwanted elements take advantage of this obstacle, and public is harassed.
I, therefore, reqeust the Government to immediately release funds for early completion of this project.
