Better Roads is our Right !



Every one knows it is important to have better roads. There is no doubt in it.

Stil the Govt, or the PWD ,or the Contractors think about the short term profit they make and put their own families life ( when they travel through these roads) in danger too.

What is the real cause that roads in Kerala can not be improved ? These are some of the execuses people say

1. Rain - in the world only kerala has so much rain that we can not have proper road which lasts for more than a year ?

2. Contractors - They say their bills does not pass, they are not getting enough profit, and they are not able to do the work. Accept the work only if money is agreed or can be managed with that money. Finally it is we all who is travelling through it including you and me and our families. Does it save any purpose ?

3. Govt - Why the Govt, Ministers and PWD can not understand it is more important to have proper roads than making money from it ?

4. Different Depts- Water, Power, PWD - Why cant all departments reach an agreement ? Once a road is ready, the Water department comes to dig it on the next day. Why such a uncorrelated mess is our Govt services are in ?

5. Guarantee - Can we increase the amount given to contractors and make it a point to get a guarantee from the Engineer and them that a road is lasting for minimum 5 years without patch works ?. Not only the Contractors, the PWD and other departments also responsible.

Any one who is digging the road is responsible to pay and make sure the road is back to the same condition once the work is over, else issue heavy fines on them.

Please put your valuable inputs and let us see if becoming a online community , we can group and do something for the situation of roads in kerala.
