Mangalore, Jan 1: Former union minister and Rajya Sabha member, Oscar Fernandes, revealed that the contractors entrusted with the work of widening the national highway between Suratkal and B C Road, have been suitably warned to hasten the work and complete it at the earliest. He gave this information, while speaking to the media men at Shibarur near Suratkal on Thursday December 31.

    Oscar, you are doing a good job by going after the contractors to hasten the job of the Highways. I know the construction jobs are always delayed, I do not why, because of the bureaucracy and red tape in India. But I think it is getting better, besides the weather is not so favorable sometimes to the people who are working.

    However I have one comment to make. I was in India in the year 2008 and was travelling from Bangalore to Mangalore by Bus and it was the worst Bus journey I have ever experienced. There were so many large pot holes, when the Bus was moving thru those pot holes, I thought the Bus is going on its side. It was really scarrey for me even though I loved the scenery of the mountains and forests. Indian Tousism can generate lot or revenues if only they attend to these road repais expeditely.
