People (most often) bring in a stay order...@Manoj,<br /><br />People (most often) bring in a stay order because they think its not a fair solution. So its the officials who are responsible of planning, and execution. <br /><br />Sandesh is giving a land owner's (who has to give away the land for the sake of the development) point of view. And its quite obvious for anyone who has live in India, the price that the govt sanctions for the land aquisitions, only a fraction of it reaches the original owner of the land!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723482666183310877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33279476.post-77165565869889365642010-02-10T04:42:48.035-08:002010-02-10T04:42:48.035-08:00The plans are designed keeping the future in mind....The plans are designed keeping the future in mind. The problem arises when these constructions dont get completed in the fixed duration. I have talked to my Town Planning lecturer about this issue. He showed me a book, with the title B'lore 2015. The plans are already laid out till that time, considering all the issues that may creep up. Consider the following, A road which is planned till 2018 starts construction in 2010 and needs to end by 2012. But the construction is delayed till 2015. So the lifetime of the road is 3 years. Its not the planners who are to blame. Its the officials with power, people who bring stay orders etc.Manoj Bhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891867007655308902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33279476.post-27331443516804751062010-02-08T12:16:30.814-08:002010-02-08T12:16:30.814-08:00The only plausible point I see is about the compen...The only plausible point I see is about the compensation, I agree with that. <br /><br />VIPs (Politicians) having the clout to get such roads? I guess they'd rather have a high ranking police officer at every traffic (switched off) light ready to salute when the VIP convoy passes by on their way back home or to the airport.<br /><br />A (non politician) VIP is just using the clout he/she could gather due to the hard work (shrewd/smart also possible), but they do deserve a say in the making of the highway for all the income they generate for the state/city.<br /><br />Would you have posted the same blog if compensation was on par?<br /><br />Most often, cities in India fail because infrastructure that is newly built was actually meant for the needs five years earlier. If the traffic density is not high, then its a good sign, for once Bangalore has some infra thats good for the next few years!!!!! In fact, it is this type of short sightedness which led to earlier widening of the highway limited to 4 lanes. <br /><br />I am sure the govt would have saved a lot more money if they had bought all this land at once, even while paying the owners 100% more price (when the lands were taken over the first time).<br /><br />I understand that you have a reason to have a personal opinion, but your frustrations towards the politics/corruption should not be vented out at something (infra) that "may" be fruitful.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723482666183310877noreply@blogger.com
