Railway Board Halts Allocation of New Road Bridge Projects to Gati Shakti Units

The Railway Board has decided to put a halt on the allocation of new road bridge projects to Gati Shakti Units, as it deems the progress made so far as unsatisfactory. The decision came following a review of the ongoing projects and their performance.

Gati Shakti Units were established with the aim of enhancing road links across India by constructing new road bridges. However, it seems that the progress made by these units has fallen short of the Railway Board's expectations. Consequently, the board has decided to suspend any further allocation of road bridge projects until a satisfactory level of progress is achieved.

The Railway Board conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the ongoing projects undertaken by Gati Shakti Units. It was observed that the progress in terms of completion deadlines, quality of work, and adherence to safety protocols was not up to the mark. This led to a unanimous decision to temporarily halt any new allocations.

The Gati Shakti Units were established to bridge the infrastructural gaps in the road network. The aim was to enhance connectivity and ease transportation across India. However, it is evident that more emphasis needs to be put on ensuring timely completion and maintaining quality standards in road bridge projects.

Although the decision to suspend new allocations may seem drastic, it reflects the Railway Board's commitment to maintaining high standards in all infrastructure projects. The board aims to ensure that efficiency, safety, and quality are prioritized in every project undertaken.

With the allocation of new road bridge projects on hold, the Gati Shakti Units will now be required to reassess their ongoing projects and address any shortcomings. It is crucial that they take this opportunity to rectify the issues and improve their performance. The Railway Board expects a higher level of efficiency and timely completion going forward.

Furthermore, the board will closely monitor the progress of the ongoing Gati Shakti road bridge projects to ensure that the necessary steps are taken to improve quality and meet project deadlines. Regular evaluations and assessments will be conducted to gauge the effectiveness of the unit's work.

In conclusion, the Railway Board's decision to suspend the allocation of new road bridge projects to Gati Shakti Units underscores the importance of maintaining high standards in infrastructure development. The board's aim is to ensure that the road network across India is efficient, safe, and of superior quality. It is now up to the Gati Shakti Units to address the issues highlighted during the evaluation and improve their performance to meet the board's expectations going forward.
