Peril in the pipeline.

The funny part is that the roads in Mumbai are digged again and this time it is for the pipes, God knows what these pipes are for. But any way firstly they make good roads (exagreration : the roads made were bearable, drivable but not smooth or good). and then they dig it out for telephone lines, cables, pipes and some other things. I felt the co ordination lacks and hence the departments do what they want to do and this really wastes the time and money. And do not forgot that this money is ours.
I will also like to bring in here to your attention,(sorry for the preechy tone) the Belapur road subway road under the central railway bridge. This road is 2 lane bearly and always causes bottle neck, traffic jam and thus is a inconvinent. And this problem seems unsolvable as how would you stop the central railway line after Thane station to widen this road below that bridge.
But the solution is as simple as they can be. Just divert the trains to Konkan railway bridge and join them up with Kalwa station and then - widen the road/ construct a new bridge/ whatever applicable can be done on the belapur road. But this would not happen either. No co ordination amongst the departments. Are there any listeners out there ?
