    • The Indian Express Tags : Delhi Metro, Bandra-Worli Sealink Posted: Thursday , Jul 16, 2009 at 0032 hrs

    India needs to radically ramp up infrastructure, and it had better get cracking if the 70,000 kilometres of roads and bridges and all its various metro projects are to materialise in the next five years. Setting up an imagined inverse relation between speed and safety does no favours to either, besides being counterproductive and demoralising.

    Strangers to hasteBy: Kishore Karnad | 17-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward The edit is timely and should prove an eye-opener for those responsible for planning and execution of projects- small and large, specially in a country where time and cost over-runs are as common as shoddy quality of work, often with connivance of those very people appointed to stop this from happenning. And this makes it difficult to envisage a situation , so common the world over, where projects are delivered within the cost and time frame work. Mal practices abound, fueled by massive corruption and any rare whistleblower like Manjunath is promptly eliminated discouraging any such attempt in the future. What needs to be addressed to is the thoroughly corroded system- a marathon that could face the stiffest hurdels. But, the cost of not doing what it would take to ensure quality work executed on time will spell certain doom to country's economy, and therefore, for the commonman- the ultimate sufferer.
