The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has demanded funds and the immediate start of a railway underbridge at Vambay Colony in Vijayawada. The party says the project has been pending for nearly two decades, but the available report gives no details about its cost or current status.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) has renewed its demand for a railway underbridge at Vambay Colony in Vijayawada, The Hindu reported. The party alleged that the project had remained pending for nearly two decades. It called for funds to be released and for construction work to begin immediately.

The demand focuses on restarting or advancing a project that CPI(M) says has been delayed for many years. The available material does not state which agency is responsible for executing the work or explain the reasons for the delay. It also gives no estimate of the project’s cost, details of any previous approvals or information about land, design and construction arrangements.

No response from railway authorities, the State government or Vijayawada civic officials was included in the supplied report. The party’s position, as reported, is that funding and immediate commencement are necessary to address the long-pending underbridge proposal.
