A thought on common reporting of infrastructure and building projects across India


I stumbled upon this blog last night. Basically, it is a take-on and an encapsulation of the short decadal history of Bandra-Worli Sea link. The article’s concerns are obvious, and it stands apart from the usual ones going gaga over the structure.

An important need is reflected by such article, and many similar which we frequently come across on newspapers and mass print magazines. Written with personal passion, cavernously universal concern, with a sprinkle of sensationalism, and a little lack of engineering insight - today’s reporting reflects the need for quality articles which provide non-biased reports of such intricate engineering projects abundant across the country.

On other hand, such projects are rarely highlighted as an achievement, which are executed by engineers and workmen under hostile and difficult site conditions; many risking and many loosing their lives, to say the least.
