A very relevant post indeed. We citizens often crib about infrastructure and demand fly overs and under passes and what not. Understandably so.

However, we rarely spare a thought for the hundreds of people who lose their property in return for paltry compensation.

I heard that shopkeepers whose shops are being demolished for Metro are being given a meagre seventy thousand as compensation. If this is indeed true then it is pathetic! What will a shopkeeper get for 70K today?

I cannot think of any solution to this deadlock right now - but I am sure there must be one! Infrastructure development is good - but not at the cost of the livelihoods of thousands of people

Ok, so now I know why this work is taking so long. Seems like the saga of traveling 2 extra kms is going to continue for a long time.

Hope the people affected get their dues and the work gets completed soon.

Nice post Nix.
