Today Member of Parliament from Gujarat Ahmed Patel visited Hon’ble Railway Minister Shri Suresh Prabhu. Mr Ahmed Patel briefed Mr Prabhu on the massive traffic disruption on the Golden Bridge and Sardar Bridge between Bharuch and Ankleshwar. Mr Patel urged the minister to explore the possibility of commencing MEMU train services between both the cities as it may help de- congest road traffic on the Golden Bridge to an extent.
Mr Patel also informed the Minister that the existing railway bridge across the Narmada, between Ankelshwar and Bharuch is several decades old. In the event of any problem,it has the potential to jeopardize the Delhi Mumbai rail traffic. Hence Mr Patel suggested the government should begin work on an additional railway bridge.
During their meeting, Mr. Patel also brought to the notice of the Minister regarding the pitiable condition of porters in Bharuch Station who don’t have uniforms and trolleys.The Minister promised to have all these matters examined at the earliest.
