STATEMENT REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) TO (c) OF STARRED QUESTION NO. 215 BY SHRI SHER SINGH GHUBAYA TO BE ANSWERED IN ON 26.12.2018 REGARDING CONSTRUCTION OF ROBs

(a) to (c): Details of Road Over Bridges (ROBs) proposed for construction in Punjab are Appended. Railways undertake construction of ROBs in Railway Bridge portion whereas approaches are being constructed by State Government. State Government and

Railway share the cost of ROB on 50:50 basis. Generally, there is no problem of construction of ROBs in Railway portion. However, construction of ROBs on approaches depends upon many factors such as availability of land, removal of encroachments, utility shifting, fixing the alignment of approaches, allocation of requisite funds etc. by State Government. Accordingly, time to complete the ROBs depends upon State Governments proactive steps on the above issues.
