Legislative Assembly Speaker Gyan Chand Gupta has taken strict notice of the work stoppage on the service lane adjacent to the Railway Under Bridge (RUB) being constructed at the Kalka-Pinjore railway gate. To assess the progress of this work, he convened a meeting on Tuesday with officials from the Public Works (Buildings and Roads) Department, Environment, Forest, and Wildlife Department. Chief Minister’s political advisor, Bharat Bhushan Bharti, was also present at the meeting.

In light of this, the Vice Chairman instructed the officials of the Mining Department to take necessary action promptly. Present in the meeting were Principal Chief Conservator of Forests of the Forest Department, K.C. Meena, Secretary of Haryana Forest Department, Dr. T.R. Singh, District Forest Officer B.S.
