What the hell is happening in the metro construction in Bangalore. BMRCL don't seem to have learnt from the tragic death three years ago near HRBR stretch where a young woman engineer and her two-and-a-half-year-old son died while injuring her husband and daughter because an under construction metro pillar collapsed due to the stupidity and carelessness of BMRCL engineers who did not monitor the safety standards of the construction company.
This new incident in Kadubeesanahalli could have killed an individual. The BMRCL seems to be sitting and hatching eggs. It is sheer luck that the metal sheet scraped a bus . Imagine if this had fallen on a two wheeler, auto or a car.
In India there is scant respect for safety measures and human lives are worth just a few thousands or maybe a couple of lakhs.
Still haven't heard of anyone being arrested or sacked . Thank God no lives were lost .
