Warangal: Plea to speed up under bridgework

Warangal: The Warangal East MLA Nannapuneni Narender, who attended the 72nd meeting of the Zonal Railway Users Consultative Committee (ZRUCC) in Secunderabad on Thursday, has raised several issues pertaining to Warangal.

He urged the SCR General Manager Gajanan Mallya to speed up the ongoing work of under bridge as it has been a cause of worry for the people in the city. He sought the railways to propose for the construction of additional vent at the existing under bridge to ease the ever increasing traffic. Narender stressed the need for coordination between R&B officials and Railways so that the long pending under bridge work would be completed soon.

He also urged the Railways to look into the proposal to construct an under bridge near Rukkamma Hotel and forward it to the State Government. Referring to the facilities at Warangal Railway Station, Narender put forward the need for descending escalators. It may be mentioned here that as of now, the Warangal Railway Station has ascending escalators. He also emphasised the need for a foot over bridge that facilitates people cross the railway station without getting into it. The foot over bridge is of immense help as it gives access to a lot of people from Shiva Nagar area to bus station. The other ZRUCC members Chintakula Sunil, Erukala Raghunath Reddy, N Seshagiri Rao and Devender were present.
