Ever since my childhood, I have seen a set pattern
of performance of our metropolitan corporation and more actively around rainy
season.
1. A road or street or bi-lane will remain dug up
or broken for ages. So much so that the area people would have given up hope
that it would ever by carpeted again.
2. Then finally one day out of no where, and more
specifically around monsoon season, kmc people would show up and start carpeting
the road. The area people rejoice that finally their road is being
carpeted.
3. Just after a few weeks of the carpeting of the
road, some utility company like ptcl, kesc, kwsb or others will show up at the
site and will dig up the road again to do their bit.
4. And then we are taken back to step
one.
5. Even if the utility company do not dig up the
road, the road would falter again during the monsoon rain.
If our utility and metropolitan companies would
have co-ordinated in an effecient manner, I am sure many such expenses could
have been avoided.
As for me I am still waiting to see a road which
has been carpeted and is not dug up again with in one year of its being
carpeted.
