Transport Minister Kamal Nath said on Monday that in the current fiscal year, India will build only 12/13 km of road per day, in place of the target of 20 km per day.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said that building infrastructure will be crucial for India to achieve a growth rate of 10 percent in the next few years.
One wonders how India will be able to build up this infrastructure when so many km of built roads are regularly being dug up.
June 2009- The Maoists and their tribal supporters dug up roads.... to prevent the security forces from advancing.
Sept. 2009- the PSBJC supporters have reverted to their earlier method of protesting — digging up roads and felling trees across them .
It seems to be an exercise in futility, building roads only to have them dug up!
