The work of 2200-meter-long Tunnel-14 on the Bhanupalli-Bilaspur-Barrie broad gauge railway line will start again. For this, the expert from Kolkata has given permission to start the work after investigation.
In this context, the representatives of the producer company informed the officials of the district administration on Thursday. According to the information, on January 29, a local person had done a borewell in the tunnel of the railway line, due to which there was a hole in the tunnel.
After the survey for investigation, now the Railways has issued guidelines to restart the construction work which was stopped for the last twenty days.
Teams had arrived from Chandigarh and Kolkata to investigate the matter and they have issued instructions to resume the work on the basis of the investigation.
The officials of the producer company DBL reached Bilaspur and informed the administration officials about this.
The DBL company, which is working on the construction of two bridges along with tunnels number 14, 15 and 16 on the 63 kilometer long railway line from Punjab to Bilaspur, had complained to the police after this incident and the tunnel was demolished.
DBL Company has taken a tender of about 700 crores on this track, under which tunnel number 14 and other two tunnels and two bridges are being built.
It is being told that the drilling pipe and hole of the borewell, which became an obstacle in the tunnel, has been filled with cement from bottom to top. Instructions have been given to keep the pipe inserted inside it.
Along with this, the hole has also been covered with welding from above, so that no one can tamper with it. Till the completion of the investigation, the pipes and incomplete borewell will remain like this.
Rakesh Anand, Public Relations Officer of DBL Company, said that instructions have come to start the tunnel work of the rail line, about which the administrative officials have also been informed.
He told that now once again the tunnel work will be started at a fast pace.
