Can we really fault the government for the way we are? To some extent yes, i.e. they have displayed no vision or an eye for the practical problems. I think this is what happened to the subway constructed at Koti. Subways being what they are, need lighting. Of course there were lights to start with. But we honorable citizens, found a way of making a quick buck by stealing those lights and selling them. What good is a subway without lights? We the inventive citizens came up with a rather creative use of these dark places, to relieve our overfilled bladders. Consequence, we the subways had to be shutdown. It is clear as to how a poorly executed plan, combined with a thieving and dishonest citizenry ( I am not blaming all the citizens, remember the old proverb about one bad monkey) can derail the best intentions. I would argue that subways are way too expensive and do not serve the purpose. Overbridges made of metal are a much better and cheaper solution. The only impediment I can see is that it would be tough for those Ganesh statues to pass under them;)
