Mausam Noor’s Special Mention in Rajya Sabha on the demand for a railway overbridge at Samsi railway crossing in Malda in Bengal
Sir, today I want to raise a crucial demand from the people of Malda Uttar, my previous parliamentary constituency. During my tenure as the MP of Malda Uttar, I pursued the Railway Ministry multiple times to sanction a Railway overbridge at Samsi railway crossing, Malda, West Bengal, a long-standing demand of the region. This project was sanctioned in the 2012 Railway Budget. The people of Malda Uttar have been waiting for this overbridge for a long time. Samsi is a significant business hub in Uttar Malda, connecting Malda North to Malda South and linking North Malda to Bihar, Siliguri, and the entire Northern part of Bengal. It also connects North Malda to Kolkata and the Southern part of Bengal. Every day, thousands of people, including daily commuters, businessmen, students, patients, farmers, and traders get stuck for hours at the Samsi railway crossing, causing significant stress and loss of time. Given the importance of this project and the prolonged wait, I urge the Railway Department that the demands of the people of Malda Uttar will be fulfilled, and this issue resolved at the earliest. Thank you, Sir.
