If everything goes according to plan,
the town would get its much-needed and much-awaited flyover
by the end of May.
The matter was settled in a meeting between the Siliguri mayor
Bikash Ghosh, senior divisional engineer, North East Frontier
Railway Mr GP Singh and other officials today.
According to the mayor, no date has yet been fixed for the
flyover’s inauguration but the facility is likely to
be inaugurated by the end of next month. The flyover is being
built jointly by the Railways and the West Bengal government.
The Railways, which have completed most of the construction
under its responsibility is positive that it would complete
the rest part within the second week of May.
Expressing satisfaction with the work, the senior divisional
manager said that seven units out of the nine under its responsibility
have been completed. “The rest should be over by the
given time,” Mr Singh added.
The development is likely to end the blame game the Railways
and the government agencies played in the past holding each
other responsible for overshooting the expected delivery time
