Yes it is solely question of "INTENT and WILL" Ways may always be aplenty leading to sanity as also chaos. What one wants to choose is important and here it is shocking when an entire setup fails for petty self interests.

You are right Mr. JPS kumar,ultimately the cotractor,client consultant trio are equally responsible for all failures, lapses in the road works. So the contractor cannot only be blamed.

Definitely a hard stable shoulder will lead to a stable road, protected from rain cuts and weathering affect of water plus it adds to the width of existing highway. For lower cost implication, effort should be made for easily available cheap...

How can you expect people sitting throughout India/world to tell that why such and section of such and such road has failed when you have travelled on the road and could not make out yourself? It is not scientific.

I am not sure whether this is really happened or not, But I liked it and want to share with all my friend here. Please read once ............ One day Maths teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down. It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. 'Really?' she heard whispered. 'I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!' and, 'I didn't know others liked me so much,' were most of the comments. No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She...
