India is zipping along the fast lane . Shouldn't infrastructure follow suit ?
New expressways . DND flyways . 8 lane roads . Picturesque highways . If roads are the lifelines of a modern state , then ours is alive and kicking . or is it ? Why do you swear when you pass through a puddle ? why is your face perptually creased while drivifn ? why does your new car look ages old in months ? why are traffic jams so routine ?the fact is that infrastructure develop,ent in the country has been sporadic and selective . Crumbling bridges are a common sight . Traffic on national highways (NH) has been growing rapidly , but the government hasn't been able to provide funds to match . Inadequate Highways have meant economic losses . True , credible efforts ave been made to improve the situation . Measures like allowing 100 percent foreign equity in construction and maintenance of roads and streamling the award of tenders will make a differnce . but these are just drops in the ocean .
Today , India is having a dream run and a booming economy . It shoudn't stumble on a feww potholes on the road .
