Following is an excerpt from the Bombay Times / TOI (14.07.03) FORMER ADVISOR SLAMS KONKAN RAILWAY FOR 'POOR PLANNING' Anthony Remedios says misplaced haste in completing project led to recent mishaps. ....He feels that approach cutting for tunnels in the 760 kms - 98 tunnel railway is very naroow with no safety margins on both sides of the tracks....There is no soil analysis, it could have helped check the problem.] ....Remedios was involved with the project's Goa sector but resigned after he found the route going through prime state land. He was also upset that KRCL had employed untrained, inexperienced civil engineers for a tight schedule in which the route was to be commissioned within four years since inception in 1991......KRCL MD B Rajaram points out that the tunnels have been built as per the books....Engineering techniques used are extremely modern....
