The railway is building a two‑lane bridge at Kaserbarg crossing in Indore at a cost of about ₹40 crore, sparking a public‑interest petition in the High Court demanding it be expanded to four or six lanes.
Indore, Madhya Pradesh – The Indian Railways is constructing a two‑lane bridge over the Kaserbarg crossing in Indore. The project, estimated at ₹40 crore, is intended to improve rail‑road connectivity in the city.
However, local residents and transport advocates have raised concerns that the bridge will be insufficient for the growing traffic. They argue that a four‑ or six‑lane bridge would better serve the area’s needs.
In response, a public‑interest petition was filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court demanding that the bridge be redesigned to accommodate more lanes. The petition cites safety and congestion issues.
The court has now been asked to review the project plans and decide whether the railway must alter its design. The outcome could set a precedent for future infrastructure projects in the state.
