Margao MLA Digambar Kamat on Saturday said that the work on the proposed flyover at the Comba railway crossing will be executed by the Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari.
Speaking to the media after laying the foundation stone for a drainage works at Comba at an estimated cost of Rs 13 lakh, the Margao MLA further said that Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has promised to fund the flyover project at the Comba railway crossing to ease traffic congestion caused by the frequent closure of the level crossing.
He pointed out that the flyover plan has been designed and a consultant appointed by the government is giving final touches for the project. “I am confident the Union Minister Gadkari will take up this ambitious project with central assistance,” he added.
Kamat further said the RTOand other authorities will crack a whip against the abandoned and scrap vehicles that are lying alongside the Margao roads.
“The authorities have taken cognizance of the nuisance caused by the abandoned vehicles. The owners have been given deadlines to lift away the vehicles, failing which the authorities will step in to tow the vehicles,” he warned.
