In a meeting held at the District Administrative Complex today, the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) approved Rs 60 lakh apart from the already demanded Rs 60 lakh from the PWD for the repair of the approaches to the railway underbridge at Mubarkpur in Dera Bassi.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Aashika Jain said that the approaches had been damaged during the floods. She added that the railway under the bridge was handed over to the PWD by the Railway Department for maintenance. An estimate of Rs 1.20 crore has been prepared by the Public Works Department for this purpose. Out of the total amount, PWD will have to bear half of the expenses, while the District Administration will bear the other half.
