SECUNDERABAD: The state government’s delay in releasing its share for the railway over bridge (ROB) near Bolarum station has vexed commuters who frequent the two link roads towards Kompally and Rajiv Rahadari.
The South Central Railways had sanctioned approval for this project and sought 50 per cent share from the Telangana government. However, the government’s failure to sanction its share has forced commuters of neighbouring colonies of Bolarum to spend additional minutes at the LC Gate no 250 where the ROB is proposed.
With no clarity on the ROB, members of the Federation of New Bolarum Colonies Welfare Association filed an RTI in January, this year to know the status of the project.
Members of the federation claim that with increased development in the area and number of trains stopping at Bolarum station has added to the traffic woes.
“We have been approaching government authorities for years now to expedite the ROB work. However, there has been no progress. The traffic hasonly worsened with frequency of trains having increased at the Bolarum station,” said Ch Simhadri, president of Federation of New Bolarum Colonies Welfare Association, which represents over 30 colonies with a population of over 20,000.
Bolarum residents have asked Telangana government to expedite work on the ROB. “@KTRTRS Really appreciate your attention in regard to #ROBs & #MMTS phase 2. This will by far be a great hit with public on connectivity in #Secunderabad #Hyderabad considering our reoccurring Army road closure issue etc...,” tweeted A Murali Krishna.
