over bridge (FOB) at Pune Junction will get enough funds very soon. So that its
work will resume in near future, said Member (Engineering) of Railway board, M
K Gupta during his visit to Pune. He also assured to remove all hurdles in its
construction.
Gupta added that all kinds of road blocks, including funding, in connection
with construction of the FOB will be removed. The senior official said that
funds will be provided for the FOB without any further delay.
Though the total cost of the project is pegged at Rs14 crore,
Pune division had received only Rs 4 crore. The rest of the money had been due
since last three months, resulting in the project being stalled.

Land Development Authority, discussed ways to develop a multimodal transport
system in which the metro, railways and intra-city transport would work
together to find transport solutions for the city.
"The planning regarding redevelopment of Shivajinagar
station, which has been on the cards since 2013, was held and some important
decisions have been taken in connection with the same. During the meeting,
development of third line of Pune-Lonavala section and fourth line were also
discussed. Discussions pertaining to re-development of Pune Station under the
Swiss Challenge model, as announced by Indian Railways earlier this year, and
its integration with the metro system were held," the official pointed
out.
Officials said that since the beginning, MahaMetro had planned
integration of transport facilities at Pune station, Shivajinagar and Swargate
wherein metro network will run into existing public transport utilities like
railways, MSRTC and PMPML with proper integration.
"Integration of both the stations with the Pune Metro project as well as
remodelling of Pune Yard, were discussed," the official pointed out.
