Here a dig,there a dig, everywhere a dig-dig!!!!!!!!
That is the sad story of Mumbai and Thane.Anywhere you go at any time of the year ,you will see some digging going on at some place at the other for some reason or the other.It may be the telephone walas digging to lay new telephone lines or repair the existing ones, or it may be the road constructions in progress,digging the newly made roads to make newer ones! If not them ,then it is the piped gas people who dig and if not them it is the ones who look into the drainage system that dig away to glory.
After the digging it is never the same again.The job is done shoddily and the debris remain long thereafter,a morose reminder of the digging that was.The debris are a hazard to vehicular and pedestrian movement alike but no one seems to care. It has become so routine that if there has been some digging done it would be a miracle if there were no debris lying there.This digging creates an utter nuisance in this city which is already bursting at its seams.It causes traffic jams and accidents and ruins the beauty of the city (Not that there is anything like that left any more )
What I do not understand is that why there is no proper communication between the different units that go on their digging sprees?It would save so much time ,effort and money if there was some system followed wherein all the digging in any particular area could be done within a certain time period and then care is taken to see that the job is done well and within the stipulated period.
So, this week I have seen a lot of digging taking place.There is some road work in progress near my school and on many of the inner roads and main roads in Thane,there is digging going on at Mulund for repair of telephone lines and there is also simultaneous digging going on near my building for the widening of a road.
I know that it is inevitable that digging is done to conduct repairs and the like but there should be some kind of system to it.The work should be done well and at a steady pace instead of being dragged on for ages.And most importantly,after the digging is done,please can we have all the holes filled up properly?
Am I asking for the impossible?
