Bhubaneswar: MP Saptagiri Ulaka has urged Railways Minister Piyush Goyal for a rail-cum-road bridge over Kolab reservoir in Koraput.
In a letter to Goyal, the Koraput MP said that various villages and habitations situated near Kolab reservoir remain cut off from the mainland due to submergence after heavy rainfall.
Bodasuku and Lankaput gram panchayats are situated about five km away from the district headquarters of Koraput. However, 25,000 residents have to travel 60-70 km via Nandapur and Semiliguda to reach Koraput due to this problem, he mentioned in the letter.
Notably, there is a single rail line with bridge over Kolab reservoir.
Ulaka has requested for a rail-cum-road bridge in 500 meters section between Suku and Koraput in Kolab region, which will allow road connectivity to these cut off areas and improve access to communication, health, education and other facilities.
It will also facilitate direct road communications to villages of Bodasuku and Lankaput gram panchayats, he added.
