Shivpal lays foundation of barrage-cum-bridge over Kosi river

Senior Uttar Pradesh minister Shivpal Singh Yadav today laid the foundation of a barrage-cum-bridge over Kosi river in Rampur district.
The bridge, to be constructed at a cost of Rs 260 crore, will help lakhs of people of Rampur and Suar Tunda assembly constituencies.
At the foundation laying ceremony at Lalpur Village, about 20 kms from Rampur, Yadav took a swipe at Suar Tunda MLA Nawab Qazim Ali, alleging he has failed to take any steps to address people's problems.
Senior Uttar Pradesh Minister Azam Khan, who represents Rampur in the assembly, also lashed out at the Suar Tunda MLA, alleging he created numerous "hurdles" in the development of Rampur.

Khan's PRO Fasahat Ali Khan said a host of development projects has been initiated by the Rampur MLA and these would be executed soon.
