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.
