Cong opens overbridge on Aji dam for public

Rajkot: The Chunaravad Dudhsagar overbridge on Aji dam in the eastern part of Rajkot was declared open for general public by Congress workers on Monday.
The opposition in the Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) alleged that ruling BJP was not interested in development works in eastern part of the city because the people there had voted for the Congress party.
Leader of opposition in RMC Vashram Sagathia said, “The work on the bridge was supposed to be completed in 2018 but ruling party and administrative wing of RMC were not interested in completing work. It was because of Congress’ representations at various levels, that the work is finally over.”
Sagathia added that the work of the bridge was completed but the BJP was planning to inaugurate it or set it open for general public. “So we have decided to inaugurate the overbridge and open it for the use by general public,” he added.
It was the Congress party that had demanded the overbridge in 2013 and thereafter held protests on various occasions. Ultimately, the bridge was sanctioned in 2016 and its foundation stone was laid by the corporators of both the BJP and Congress.
