Title: Need for construction of railway flyover near Peddapalli railway station at 1st class gate 41/T in Andhra Pradesh.
DR. (SHRIMATI) C. SUGUNA KUMARI (PEDDAPALLI): I have written for an early sanction of an ROB (road over-bridge) at 1st class gate number 41/T between Peddapalli and Raghavapur stations of South Central Railway on the road from Peddapalli station to Manthani town very near to Peddapalli railway station. I have repeatedly represented to the successive Railway Ministers in this regard. Many lives were lost while waiting at the closed gate while travelling on that road for medical emergencies. This road connects very remote far-flung developing areas spread over 10 mandals. The people are very poor and an ROB will save lots of lives. Hence, I request you to consider this ROB on priority basis and direct appropriate officials to examine and expedite the sanction to save the lives. The State Government has agreed to release necessary share of fund as and when necessary as the Railways take up the project. I request through you, Mr. Deputy-Speaker Sir, to get the matter examined, and sanction the permission and the funds by including this in the next budgetary proposals.
