The four-lane road over bridge between Guntur and Nambur has been sanctioned at 108 crore rupees. Who is bearing the entire cost?
- A.The Government of Andhra Pradesh
- B.The Ministry of Railways
- C.The National Highways Authority of India
- D.A private developer under a toll agreement
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Ministry of Railways. The bridge has been approved at an estimated cost of 108 crore rupees and the entire amount is being met by the Ministry of Railways, so the state exchequer pays nothing towards it. Option A is wrong because the Government of Andhra Pradesh is not sharing the cost, even though the bridge serves Guntur city. Option C is wrong because the National Highways Authority of India has no role in this project, which replaces a level crossing on a railway line. Option D is wrong because the bridge is a fully funded railway work and no private developer or toll arrangement has been announced for it. Aspirants should remember that road over bridges on railway lines are often shared between the railways and the state, which makes this fully railway-funded case worth noting.
