Understood: Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav visited Puri district of Odisha yesterday. At that time, a 7-year-old boy from Prapradapur village of Puri district, Badri Prasad Panda, met the Union Minister and submitted a petition.
In it, ‘‘There was a railway level crossing before crossing the railway line in our town. Later, the Tal level crossing under the under bridge (RUB) in the village was closed. But that under bridge is half a kilometer away from the village. Due to this the villagers and students are suffering. Therefore, a railway footbridge should be constructed along the village boundary’’ He had said that.
