Project dates are set with lot of buffers..but why cant BMRCL re-do those dates..and hasten the work on the metro..the piers are coming up on MG road but the level of activity is abysmally low.. On the other hand, if we check the pace of work on the elevated highway on hosur road..its really fast! Whats ailing the metro? on the outset..nothing..cos they are doing almost nothing! How about setting records in implementation? As said earlier..chances are that the DMRCL will put up the train to BIAL before BMRCL can hire engineers!
