Did I hear that these underpasses would be put up in 72 hrs each....? HAHAHA!!!!! What a joke man...
I don't doubt the technology, mind you. But man, the
Bangalore babus allowing this to happen......?? THATz the zoke!!!!! I mean, what about all the pockets that would get bypassed if you put this up in 72 hrs!!?? No no... C'mon, progress jaaye, par corruption na jaaye
Believe me it is very easy for one to criticize (It doesn't take any effort at all). Look at the headlines in the newspapers these days.
"BBMP fails to meet 72 hr deadline".
and several more.
But I would request you all to spend 10 min of your time stopping at these areas where the underpasses are being built and see for your self the difficulty of the job that the BBMP is trying to accomplish.
Every since the Cauvery underpass work started I stopped and spent 10-15 min at the work site area watching history being made in Bangalore.
On the 2nd day when the bull dozers hit a water pipe there was a lot of water & slush in those pits. The bull dozers used to slip in certain parts of the pit. Workers (probably making Rs 100.00 per day) were collecting slush and water with buckets and hand carrying them to the top of the pit and dumping it out.
These folks are working very hard to make our lives easier.
So Stop Criticizing and start Cheering these workers at these work areas.
I agree. All said and done the work was carried out in record time. Their initial estimates were off however we need to appreciate the fact that they have entered new territory in terms of project execution. Count this as significant positive for BBMP. People of B'lore should help BBMP execute rather than criticize. Several I was told several Engg students pitched in to help freely. I wish BBMP taps into the enormous talent in and around B'lore to plan and execute these projects. I am sure many of them will render help gladly.
