The Construction Of Railway Line
The project requires fabricated girders for the bridge sites. Further, the workers are working around the clock in cold weather to complete this project. It may take a while due to the prolonged monsoon season, and the availability of skilled workers and construction materials. Also, the poor accessibility to the areas is a problem. Despite everything, the workers are doing night shifts. Once the railway line is complete and operating, the locals can access long distances across the country.
