Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar lal Khattar has approved over Rs 15.96 crore for construction and special repair of different roads in Palwal and Faridabad districts.
A government spokesman said that about Rs3.60 crore had been approved for construction of road from Shekhpur to Uttar Pradesh Border in Palwal district. Rs 2.97 crore had been approved for construction of road from Solra to Karol in Palwal.
In Faridabad district, over Rs 5.26 crore had been approved for construction of road from Arawa Pantoon Bridge to Shajhanpur Khadar and more than Rs 7.73 crore for special repair by providing dual carriageway with cement concrete pavement on Delhi Mathura road to Tilpat and Tilpat to Surdas Samadhi.
The Haryana government has also decided to construct a Railway Over Bridge (ROB) instead of Railway Underpass on Narwana Samain Road at level crossing number 139.
A spokesman of Public Works (Building and Roads) Department said that the Chief Minister has given its consent to a proposal of the department for the same. He said that Chief Minister has also accorded administrative approval of Rs 25 crore for construction of ROB.
The department would also request the Railways to recheck Train Vehicle Unit (TVU) counts so that Railways could share the cost of proposed ROB. The TVU counts were very near to one lakh for qualifying on cost sharing basis during March 2015.
Khattar had announced to construct Railway underpass on Narwana Samain Road. But as per the report it is not feasible to construct Railway Underpass at this location due to high water table. As per Railways record during March 2015, the TVUs at this location was 99,360.
