Lamtluang Online News: Mizoram Rajya Sabha MP K Vanlalvena spoke about the Sihhmui railway bridge during the Parliamentary Committee on Railways meeting held on November 28, 2024. He mentioned that the bridge construction had collapsed last year, and as a result, work had been suspended for over a year.
MP K Vanlalvena also stated that the planned completion for this year had not been achieved, and at the current rate of progress, it was unlikely to be completed by 2025 as well. He emphasised the need for expedited action to complete the project.
According to the information presented in the meeting, currently, there are 1,63,810 railway bridges in India. Out of these, 11,918 bridges are those that have been identified as needing repair between 2014 and 2024, and an estimated £6.2 billion (Rs. 8,208 crore) has been allocated for their repair.
Additionally, there are 540 tunnel locations in India, with a total length of 199.96 km. Furthermore, there are 17,998 locations where railway and highway lines intersect, and plans have been made to construct bridges at all these locations.
