STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (c)  OF STARRED QUESTION NO. 215 BY SHRI SHER SINGH GHUBAYA TO BE ANSWERED IN LOK SABHA ON 26.12.2018 REGARDING CONSTRUCTION OF ROBs

(a) to (c): Details of Road  Over Bridges (ROBs) proposed for construction in Punjab are Appended. Railways undertake construction of ROBs in Railway Bridge portion whereas approaches are  being  constructed  by  State  Government.  State  Government  and Railway share the cost of ROB on 50:50 basis. Generally, there is no problem of construction of ROBs  in Railway portion.  However, construction of ROBs on approaches depends upon many factors such as  availability  of  land,  removal  of  encroachments,  utility  shifting, fixing the alignment of approaches, allocation of requisite funds etc. by  State  Government.  Accordingly,  time  to  complete  the  ROBs depends  upon  State  Governments  proactive  steps  on  the  above issues.
