I am not much aware of it.. but maybe i can give a faint idea why it took time.. the officer must have gone to his superiors and he must be trying and trying and tryin but he wud just not listen... or probably he wud have never tried...

It so happens that even the smallest thing needs an approval which may take anytime from 6 months to an year.. unless someone who is really powerful keeps bugging one of teh top guys in ashghal...

and as to the foot bridges, i have no idea why they are not doing it...

and the road quality..  lemme tell you something.. there is a problem here i.e. 1> Design & 2> Inspection... In watever i have seen its one of these factors that has resulted in bad roads... and i realise they are working on it and soon we all should have good roads.. and how soon it will be.. dont ask me that !!! lol...
