Gammon and the Metro - is there a safety concern? 12/30/09 12:42 - sanjayv
After the recent bridge collapse in Rajasthan on the E-W corridor involving Gammon, am beginning to wonder about who would conduct a proper audit of the company's practices? Since Bangalore Metro has offloaded a portion of the work to Gammon, this is particularly worrying for us. There are three major accidents that have been reported in the national press. person sanjayv's post | forum 3 Comments | Read More

Bumpy roads of Bangalore - Road Humps the back breakers not speed breakers. 12/29/09 07:02 - srikanthml
Maybe this has been discussed earlier. I am appalled by the state of Bangalore roads of late. Day by day there are more road humps added to the streets without any thought on the inconvenience it causes to the riders/drivers. person srikanthml's post | Read More |
