Two Road Over Bridge (ROB) projects in the HEC area are set to begin shortly, supported by the state government. Planned improvements at Namkum, Gangaghat, Muri, Silli, and Govinddhara stations—including upgraded platforms, sanitation, lifts, toilets, and waiting halls—are budgeted at Rs 140 million.
