Currently, 90% of the work on the track has been stalled for a month. The IVRCL, the company contracted for the construction, has completed 90% of the bridge over the Ganges near Sangam. However, the construction of the road overbridge for the second track has been halted due to the Magh Mela. As a result, the track could not be laid on the bridge. The construction of the road bridge has been stopped at several places due to the construction of pillars. A company official mentioned that vehicular movement on the route needs to be stopped to construct the second track bridge. The administration, citing the Magh Mela, has not given permission for route diversion. The key point is that all the routes for the road overbridges for the second line are linked to the Sangam. Permission for diversion will now be sought. The work of laying the track along with the road bridge will be completed by June.
