Infrastructure is the backbone of any economy and Electricity, Water supply, Roads, Public trasport sustem, Fire fighting system etc. are parts of Infrastructure to be provided by the government of any country. India is still a Socialist country and providing Infrastructure is still in the hands of government with public- private partnership. The government is trying its level hard to provide best possible infrasrtucture to its public who choose its government.
But there are a few problems: Talking in specific about Indore city and its road development projects.
The government is spending crores of rupees every year for the building and maintaining of roads of Indore and its near by areas. But still the pace at which roads are bulid is very slow, can be becausse of many reasons like: lack of co-ordination amongst internal staff, clearing out stays given by courts, lack of funds supplied by central government, lack of technology available, lack of support given by local public and so on.
The road which can be built in 3-4 months are not finished in 1-2 years time as well.. Taking example of A.B. road which is a Highway which connects Agra and Mumbai crosses through Indore was supposed to be ready a few months ago but if you go there you can observe its still under contruction and a huge part is left till date. Other parts of Indore are also undore construction.
I say why the government is not giving full priority to this road building process as our whole economy is getting hamperd because of taking extra time to build roads.
This is a good part that government has decided to make concrete roads so that their life increases by more than 100% but this much time is not affordable.
More than 20% of roads of Indore are blocked and are undor construction and is hampering the public a lot in the ways like...
1. The roads are dug which creates a lot of traffic jams.
2. Diversions are to be used which takes time.
3. Businesses are hampered because if a road is to be constructed that area is closed and shops and offices of that area are affected because people don't prefer going to that areas as there is no parking space and vehicles have to be parked lolg away from the place
4. A lot of fuel is wasted as vehicles can't move on a constant speed, and in India the prices of fuel are far higher than its neighborings.
5. Accidents happen frequently because dug places are not covered properly.
6. It takes more time to reach to a particular place.
The time taken to prepare a road is far ahead than expected and the time the road is prepared the vehicles exceeds the limit of the road. At the same time the buses used by the government to provide aid to the common people is a far bigger problem than expected. The buses used for public transport are of big size for which the infrastructure of Indore is not ready, which creates huge traffic. The City bus passing from any any and every area creates traffic jams as the buses requires huge space and other vehicles have to be aside for a long time till the bus leaves that area.
Government should use small buses and should increase the frequency of the buses travelling to various destinations. This will reduce the traffic on roads and will be an aid to the common people.
The government of Madhya Pradesh is working hard for the development of Indore and other regions and especially the BJP government. But the government should increase the speed with which it is working.
We have full hopes from the government. And we expect Indore to be well equipped with good infrastructure so that industrial growth can also happen and at the same time good opportunities can also come to Indore.
