During a program in Mandsaur, an underbridge at the Mid India Railroad crossing near the district headquarters was commissioned.
The program was chaired by Mandsaur Neemuch MP Sudhir Gupta. Local MLA Yashpal Singh Sisodia district planning committee member and BJP district president Nanalal Atolia were also in attendance.
This project was completed with the joint support of the Ministry of Railways and the local authority of Mandsaur for an investment of Rs 7.5 crore.
The Western Railway Ratlam Division DRM Vineet Gupta, representative chief engineer Lokendra Jatav, municipal administrator, district collector Gautam Singh, district panchayat president Priyanka Goswami and others were also present.
The project was approved in 2006-07 to build an underbridge in place of the Mid India Railway level crossing. Due to complications, it took three years for the project to be approved in principle. Later in 2015, Rs 4.4 crores was approved for the project.
Meanwhile, the inhabitants of the area launched agitations. The detailed project report (DPR) started in 2016 after the investigation, followed by drawing and land testing by the technical experts from the railways and municipal authorities.
The design of the bridge has been changed due to technical reasons and the land test report, increasing the project cost to Rs 7.5 crore.
