Title - Tewari writes to Railway Minister

Ludhiana:
Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Manish Tewari has written to Railway Minister Malikarjun Kharge seeking his intervention in the completion of the foot bridge at the Ludhiana railway station.In his letter, Tewari wrote that the work on the foot bridge had been started on his initiative a few years ago. However, the Railways stopped the work midway without giving any reasons.Seeking an inquiry into the abandoning of work on the foot bridge, he said, “It should be found out why the work on the foot bridge was abandoned and how much money was spent on it before the work was stopped”. He wanted to know why the project was cancelled and whether any penalty had been fixed and what action had been taken in this regard.Emphasising the need for early completion of the foot bridge, Tewari wrote, “Ludhiana is one of the important cities in Punjab with a lot of railway traffic. The new foot bridge is needed urgently as the existing one is narrow."
