Madhya Pradesh: MLA Birla Proposes Solution For Punasa Road Jam In Sanawad

Sanawad (Madhya Pradesh): MLA Sachin Birla has proposed that railway culvert number 831 be converted into an underpass to solve the recurrent traffic jams on Punasa Road, caused by the narrow railway gate there. The culvert is located half a kilometre south of the gate.

Formerly used as an alternative route, the culvert allowed smooth passage for two-wheelers, bullock carts, tractors and cars. If it is converted into an underpass it would not only provide relief from recurrent traffic jams at the railway gate but also serve as a bypass for vehicles travelling between Khandwa, Omkareshwar and Punasa.

With the impending transition of the railway line to broad gauge, the proposed solution aims to preemptively address and mitigate future traffic issues, offering a practical resolution to the long-standing problem.
