Mubarakpur underpass shut for repairs till August 8

Zirakpur, July 25

Residents here will have to take a detour as the Mirpur-Mubarakpur railway underpass will remain closed for the next 15 days due to some repair work.

Residents of Trivedi Camp, Mubarakpur, Mirpur and Bhankharpur will have to bear the inconvenience for the next fortnight in the rainy season. They say the underpass was completed after more than one year of ending of the deadline and was again becoming an inconvenience for them.

“The concrete road surface of Mubarakpur underpass needs rectifications/repairs for which the Mirpur-Mubarakpur road needs to be blocked for traffic till August 8,” reads the railways advisory.

“The authorities have chosen the monsoon for the repair work without thinking that about how much inconvenience it causes to residents of nearby villages,” said Davinderpal Singh, a resident of Mubarakpur village.
