Escalators on overbridge to be installed: Rangasamy

Pondicherry, Aug 10 (UNI) The Pondicherry administration will consider setting up of escalators for the foot overbridge at the New bus stand here, Chief Minister N Rangasmy told the legislative assembly today.

He was replying to a question in this regard from DMK member R Siva.

Intervening, AIADMK member Om Sakthi Segar said the overbridge was not being used now and demanded its removal.

Replying, Mr Rangasamy said the overbridge was not a failure and several people were using it. The only problem was that old people were unable to climb the steps and the administration was taking steps to make it usable.

AIADMK member A Anbazhagan posed the question in whose period it was constructed. When there was no reply to his question from the Chief Minister, DMK member Rajaraman quickly stood up and said the overbridge was construced during the DMK regime and the then chief minister R V Janakiraman had consturcted it for the benefit of the bus passangers.
