We quote :-
" one of the oldest viaducts constructed during the inception of Rail Connectivity between Bombay and Poona dating back to the year 1858 still strong situated in the breath taking Bore Ghat section between Karjat & Lonavala.
The viaduct had 2 Meter gauge lines running at the start , later when the line was converted to Broad gauge it could only accommodate a single broad gauge line while additional lines were constructed parallel to this viaduct far apart. "

There's a church nearby Bombay puna railway. Many churches are closing off because of debt or crisis.I think a small church loan with great rates is able to solve those problems.
ReplyDeleteAs your religious center, we too have churches in United kingdom.From renovation and expansion to church construction; we need sometimes church loans with great rates. But finding a right lender is hassling here without the help of complete church lenders directory.
