Surprisingly, workers are all seen with safety gears. Unlike Indians, they are more afraid to work without protective gears or it is due to photo shoot purpose only. They ought to have used open tendering method to choose L1 contractors employing minimum wage menial labors instead of sophisticated machines. They ought to use blasting method instead of tunnel boring machines so that Human right activists could raise hue and cry for benefits to poor people affected by vibrations. Huge amount of mud and soil must have been dug out and disposed off. It would be interesting to know how they addressed environmental issues. Somebody ought to file PIL and their Supreme Court ought to stop all work until reports of specialist panels. Religious sentiments of people must have been hurt by digging at the graveyard. Politicians ought to have stopped all work to appease vote bank in the name of religion. Or perhaps these happen only in India. Some other countries just keep on developing.

U r spot on with your comments sir. We see political paralysis everywhere in India - urban and rural. We have a defunct environmental clearance committee which just sits on files as its Standard Operating Procedure. We have local lobbies which want to put their own interests ahead of the state and national development. Most unfortunate - we have incompetent state governments which start projects and pour in tax money and abandon them in the name of land acquisition and clearance issues. This legacy of over 60 years needs to be demolished at the soonest. When countries are building cities and airports in the sea, we struggle to have petty little sea links to decongest coastal cities. Just how many years behind are we??? Jai Hind
