The builders have to use inferior quality materials as they need to pay middlemen.
It is the political system that needs an overhaul.

Cracks in metro rail pillars
by Harsh Mehta on Jul 27, 2009 03:29 PM

In any R.C.C. construction cantilever i.e. parts projected from central pillars are difficult part to consruct but it is I do notknow favourite way for some engineers.Whenever earthquake occurs balcony supported on cantilever supporting beams are most vulenerable part of structure.If we want 100 percent safety, we should avoid such mode of construction and adopt other alternatives even at cost of loss of one carriage way beneath

contrustion techniques.

1. Yesterday papers reported that the Rajiv Gandhi Setu in Bombay opened 2 weeks ago, already has pot holes.

2. Delhi Metro we all know what is happening.

3. Hyderabad also saw a flyover crashing down.

This is what happens if Kangress is entrusted with such expensive projects.

Kangress are no saints. Even then, for these matters of "repeated" oversights is a matter of shame and does not speak wekk of Indian work ethic.

Both the contractor and the consultant should be jailed.

It is a matter of shame for our country. Kolkata Metro was constructed by HCC 25 years back. (Touchwood) Till date there has not been any such incident. In Delhi, which is famous for the large population of corrupt people and is run by Cong (a party which is known for its corruption history) this has been the fourth design failure in recent years.

Both the contractor and the consultant are to be blamed for this and they should be put behind bars for endangering the lives of thousands of innocent people. If they are jailed, the truth behind the failure will come out as to how the BABUs & NETAs took the kickbacks to pass an unqualified contractor and faulty designs.

No mercy for playing with people's lives.

You are right! Both the contractor and the consultant should be charged with negligence.
