I liked todays Manorama Metro ...

I was wondering why there is no reports on the road condition in Ernakulam. Wonder why no one is interested in a public issue like this. I have posted this issue in Facebook and Google Buzz. But everybody is interested in chat and all...
The road condition in the city is very pathetic. This is not supposed to be happen in this Gods Own Country. The concerned officials are keeping their eyes shut and its already too late to wake up. And the thing which should be noted is that it has been hardly one year since these roads were tarred..
In this rainy reasons these roads are a real threat to our lives. There is a good chance we will get painted in brown. These things show the corruption, lack of planning, wastage of resource and money in the concerned authority. I have a lot to say, now stopping here...
Wrote his post because i have seen these important things in front of us seems not be unimportant thing for us..
