The ‘double’ inauguration of such a simple nonentity event like the commencement of hot-mixing of roads has kicked up such a storm! The ignominious part was the haranguing of the PWD engineers with obviously no forthcoming action against the perpetrators. If it is plaudits the minister, his supporters and the local MLA crave, then they do not have far to look. In the same dailies that reported this incident, the PWD Minister said there will be no stilts in the final portion of the Western bypass! Day by day we see that nothing is done for the inhabitants, except land acquisition. People are starved of self-development and the commencement of hot-mixing is with no guarantee of the road lasting a single monsoon.
