CBI books senior railway official in construction of ROBs

The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a case against a former Deputy Chief Engineer of the Southern Railway and others on charges of constructing four Road Over Bridges within a short stretch of 2 km without any public demand or justifiable vehicle utility.

The work pertains to the construction of the ROBs between Thiruthuraipoondi and Agasthiyampalli as part of the ₹506.72 crore gauge conversion project in which it was decided to eliminate manned/unmanned level crossings by replacing them with Limited Use Subway, Elevated Rail Road and ROB.
