Tirunelveli reader’s mail
Residents of Tirunelveli are calling for the immediate construction of a long-delayed railway overbridge to alleviate traffic congestion. Additionally, the article highlights the severe ecological degradation of the Pazhayar river, which is causing flooding in local paddy fields.
Everyone in Tirunelveli is awaiting the commencement of Rail Over Bridge (ROB) construction at Kulavanigarpuram, as decades have passed since the announcement of the ROB project. After facing a legal battle at the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court and obtaining legal clearance by compensating the landowners, it is now high time for the construction to begin without further delay. As the railway gate closes several times a day, the construction of ROB will end the inconvenience faced by the public. Even though former CM M.K. Stalin had announced in 2022 at Palayamkottai that the ROB construction would commence immediately, but it has not happened. This time the public is in full hope that the ₹120 crore’Y’ shaped bridge project will be executed on a war foot basis, as it serves as the gateway to the twin cities and government hospitals in Highground.
