Redesigning India

All Indian Cities, Towns & Villages need immediate designing & NOT REDESIGNING BECAUSE THERE IS NO DESIGN AT ALL ANYWHERE IN INDIA. The Directors of Town Planning do not know what is Town, much less any Planning. CAN ANY WORKING OR RETIRED CHIEF ENGINEER OR CHIEF TOWN PLANNER ANSWER WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNT FROM THE PROBLEMS IN THE MOST CROWDED CITIES BOMBAY & CALCUTTA OF 1960s? Did they hear these names at all? When other Cities were growing, did any one think or suggest any time that NOW THE PLANNING HAS TO INCLUDE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC & POPULATION GROWTH FOR THE NEXT 200 OR 300 YRS? No Police or RTA Official has any idea what to do when Petrol/Diesel prices are revised on weekly/monthly basis. They dont know that the fares can be revised by maintaining the Taxi/Auto meters starting at Re.1.00 and increment of 10 ps & Card printed for whatever meter charges/distance, as per revised Rates. But our great RTA/Police Officials expect the poor Taxi/Auto drivers to revise the meter & also again go to the RTA, to get it certified. Town planners have no idea/clue about the basic services they have to provide & how to install, without repairing/altering on regular basis. But unfortunately the Contractors who actually execute the work, have to pay about 30% to Officials, to facilitate not annual but monthly repairs & 30% again looted from repairs sometimes without any rep[airs at all. No one can say if we have to redesign Cities or Politicians & Official
