*Bharalu flyover * Sir, – The idea of a flyover over the Bharalu rivulet is indeed a welcome initiative. A well-planned, well-designed and well-built flyover over the rivulet Bharalu will serve the traffic clogged Guwahatians in many ways. But if we accept the PWD supervised drainage system in Guwahati as an example of what can be envisioned of such a project, the Rs 500 crore project will be nothing but a waste of public money besides being a future headache to all concerned Guwahatians unless the Guwahati Development Authority considers hiring foreign firm with expertise in such projects. Even before the flyover is constructed, the Bharalu rivulet must be converted into a well-drained canal, obviously built with concrete with suitable valve to prevent back flow from the mighty river Brahmaputra without which the proposed flyover will just be an impractical dream. I wish to draw the attention of the authorities concerned so that the proposed flyover is well built for which we will all be proud of. – Yours etc., MAHENDRA BHUYAN, 402 Indian Hill Court, St Louis, Missouri 63021, USA. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
