Union Minister of State Anupriya Patel has written to Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw requesting the construction of a railway underpass in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh.

Shiv Shankari Dham Temple, on the Bela-Baghi-Gangpur road. Patel stated that the construction would benefit the people of several villages by providing them with easy access to transportation. She requested the Union Minister to prioritize the project in the interest of the public. The need for the underpass arose after the construction of a railway overbridge, which cut off the villages from Purushottampur Bazaar and Maa Shiv Shankari Dham Temple. The overbridge also disconnected villages like Pratapgarh, Ramjipur, Fatehpur, Dixitpur, Shivrajpur, Parasia, Rupodha, Jagannathpur, Belwari, Bijurka, Rasoolpur, Manikpur, and Bangla Devaria from the bazaar. Similarly, villages like Bela, Pachewara, Dharmampur, Gangpur, Bhawanipur, Niamatpur, Chandapur, and Ramraypur were cut off from the Maa Shiv Shankari Dham Temple. The area now has four railway lines with another under construction, making it difficult for pedestrians to cross. The construction of the fifth line would further complicate the situation, making the underpass essential for the convenience of the public.
