Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal has urged the Union Railways Minister Piyush Goyal to replicate the innovative elevated railway track of Rohtak on Narwana-Kurukshetra Railway Line in Kaithal.
The construction of elevated Rail Track in Rohtak, the first of its kind in the country has led to many requests for its replication elsewhere in the state, said a spokesman of the PWD Department.
In a letter addressed to the Union Railway Minister, Manohar Lal has said that three important roads namely Kaithal-Karnal State Highway No-8, Circular road Kaithal around Kaithal town and Thanesar-Dhand-Kaithal road cross the Narwana-Kurukshetra Railway line in Kaithal town at railway RD 38/4/5 (LC 33), RD 39/4/5 (LC 34B) and RD 40/1/2 (LC 34A) respectively. All these level crossings qualify for the construction of ROBs/RUBs, the letter stated.
These level crossings are located in built up areas with substantial traffic movement due to major government offices, private establishments and the bus stand being in the close vicinity, construction of these ROBs in these locations would not be feasible due to difficulties of land acquisition, the Chief Minister said in his letter.
Therefore, elevating the railway track instead of construction of three ROBs/RUBs would make a lot of economic sense, he added.
