ITANAGAR, Nov 12: Member of Parliament Nabam Rebia along with the local MLA Techi Kaso, Deputy Commissioner Itanagar Capital Region, Komkar Dulom and a host of other officers visited the proposed bridge at Borum which would connect Borum near Railway Station to Lekhi.
Stressing that the bridge would ease communication for people coming from Lekhi- Nirjuli - Karsingsa- Banderdewa area, Rebia had a detailed discussion with the representatives of Railways to expedite the pending construction work of the bridge.
The Executive Engineer Railways for Construction Kinkar Das informed that the construction work had slowed down due to lack of funds. He however said that once the funds are provided, the project can be expected to be completed within 6 months as only super structure is remaining to be completed.
As the Project is being funded centrally by the Department of Railways, Rebia urged them to submit all the necessary documents at the earliest so that the matter can be taken up at higher level.
He also assured of his intervention in the matter wherever required.
Kaso also stressed that the bridge is the need of the hour and urged the officials of Railways to expedite the paper works so that the requirement of necessary funds for completion of the project could be taken up at the earliest. DIPRO
