Dear Writer,The heading itself a good to write comments to this subject.Indians and foreign experts are fully appreciating of wonderful works,execution of civil projects by Mr.Sreedharan and his team.He had done a excellent jobs on Railways ,and Delhi metro projects.This is not a fault of him.Some contractors bad jobs had made him to think twice of running projects.We will wait and see of the Governments commission findings.Let him continue to do more good works for nations development activities.There should be a good quality,good engineering audits for an big metro rail,fly over,road projects.

It appears Delhi metro has now sacked a director after the accident. Does that change anyone’s opinion on whether Sreedharan should have been allowed to resign?

Thou should never walk under a Delhi metro construction without fear! This was not the case until Sunday, but people will be wary of the metro work in New Delhi.Sreedharan has been a shining example, reminding us how quickly the country can be transformed if more officials like him come forward to help mould India into a truly great 21st century nation. While we need to be grateful to Sreedharan, it is also sad despite our claims as a vibrant democracy, we still look upto individuals to get things done. This shows a lack of faith in our system.Instead of debating whether Sreedharan should stay, we should bring pressure on the ruling class to put in place efficient systems in place!

The fact that at the age of 77 Dr. Sreedharan is working on such imperative projects and is wanted by other nations to develop their metro projects speaks for the kind of professional he is. The kind of effort being put into the development of delhi metro is fantastic and according to me, Dr. Sreedharan is the man behind it. I, as an indivisual want him to carry on the project with the same zeal.

India’s ramshackle infrastructure is a example of what no one should follow. A Delhi metro that though widely boasting in India is essentially a second rate system.

The accident brings to the fore whether we are trying to build Rome in a day. It is time to deliberate on the speed at which the phase 2 is getting completed to meet political milestones like commonwealth games. Are we compromising safety for speed?When the whole of india is getting into the infrastructure band wagon it is something to be contemplated seriously. While Sri.Sridharan remains the icon for infrastructure development we should remember that all the infrastruture projects will not have the sridharan tocuh, though we hope it gets. So we have to be doubly cautious about safety norms.
