Panskura's Decades-Long Rail Gate Hassle: MP Dev Assures Relief, Locals Hopeful

• Panskura residents face daily disruptions due to the railway level crossing near Panskura Junction, often closed for up to an hour.
• The level crossing, on the Howrah-Kharagpur line, causes significant delays for commuters, buses, and even ambulances.
• Locals resort to dangerous crossings underneath the gate, leading to accidents, despite repeated demands for a flyover.
• MP Dev has assured residents he will raise the issue again in Parliament and speak with the Railway Minister.
• Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, as former Railway Minister, had previously attempted to build a flyover in the area.

Why It Matters: MP Dev's assurance brings new hope for Panskura residents seeking relief from decades of railway gate problems.
