World's most expensive Metro !

[nair]

Yeah how dare they build airports, roads, malls, cities, provide internet/celluar service!

Clearly, Pakistan should focus on feeding others by spoon. Give everyone free education/free food while they remain useless (most).

You, girl, are the reason why Pakistan has destroyed itself. If India always cared about feeding its poor, it'd not be launching missions to Mars, it'd not have satellites offers to its neighbors (@nair I hope i'm right), and many other things.

People like you need to be forced to go to school and learn a thing about how a country runs.

And before you leave an idiotic reply, know that I take economics and I know more than you. I live in west and our government pays 65% of fare by taxes it collects. Clearly it should build more hospitals and hire doctors (I've to wait 6 months to see specialist, because there aren't many! And my dad got kicked out of hospital because they needed the bed, even though we offered to pay) and make education free here (it runs into tens of thousands of dollars, which takes 5-10 years to pay back when graduated.)

If a country has to grow, the growth should happened in every section of the society...... I feel every society is like a stair case.... where you will find section of population in every step........ The role of the govt is to bring them up step by step.... It is important that the lower step need more attention, but that doesnt mean that govt can ignore others.....

It is wrong to say first eradicate poverty then work on infrastructure.....If you dont work on infra simultaneously, you wont be able to accommodate the population who has come out of poverty.....

But Money has to be used wisely....... and should not be wasted

Thank you for your opinion...

I can see impresive progress in pakistan.

then you should also appreciate at his bad maths skills and inability to tell if something is 6x more expensive than it is supposed to be!

ROME WAS NOT BUILT IN ONE DAY

What happens when such irregularities are noticed?

I am waiting for them to be noticed ...The what happens will be sought later when the stupid people acknowledge their bloody fault!

So far they are claimed and cheered as DEVELOPMENT or brushed under the toilet seat (no not carpet)

I think you have enlisted the psyche of all those beggars in subcontinent.. Unless this sort of mentality is eradicated, sum-body would be there to say, I have not been looked after by my government.. Why they don't go to school, why they don't work, why they rely on begging... Why government should feed them from my tax paid money? Why??????

you are welcome

Come on its not fair to blame him for poor maths ability...
cost depends on material you use and some parts must be imported.And they must be taking help from foriegn countries for design etc . We don't have motor ways or super highways like in pakistan. We still lag behind pak in infrastructure.
It is moral responsibility of pakistan citizens to critise them and ask what is the reason for allot huge amount money for such project which can be completed with less budget...

Of course not...it isnt his money ...he lives like a king so he thinks all of us are children of some kings!

cost depends on material you use and some parts must be imported.And they must be taking help from foriegn countries for design etc .

You think it is because of that?

Heard of the words kickbacks? Our previous motorway was Korean if I am not wrong we could have taken the same help...as for materials they come from his steel mills....not even imported so I am not sure where the 6x more expensive is going!

We still lag behind pak in infrastructure.

Your rail system are WAY better than anything we have been able to maintain!

It is moral responsibility of pakistan citizens to critise them and ask

Ask who? Were we asked about the metro? No questions are asked this isnt a civilian democratic govt where opinions of citizens matter...this is a Sultanate where the govt cant be questioned and the state money is his personal purse! His minions claim it is the true price...

Incorrect.


India's space program is directly helping India's poor.

India's space program is over 90% civic oriented and only 10% military or showpeice.

ISRO's space program has direct benefits for the country:
1. Resource mapping - Sats are used extensively to map the resources for exploitation
2. Crop monitoring
3. Telecommunications
4. Disaster Prediction and Relief

In fact, it is because of ISRO that recently the cyclone that hit Odisha caused no more than a 100 deaths when 10 years before a cyclone of the same intensity hit it caused the death of over 10,000 Indians and hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage.

India runs the worlds largest network of tele-schools and tele-medicines. Because of ISRO's satellite network, hard to reach geographical areas get education and medicinal and agricultural knowledge.

India's space program pays for itself many many times over each year. This is not even including the commercial contracts it bags for launching foreign satellites.

The only reason foreigners don't know of these things is because its not cool to report these mundane aspects which is actually the bread and butter or the soul of India's space program. It just grabs more eyeballs to report that India;s space program is only about Mars and the Moon.

Great post! I was going to write a similar response to @Fallen King's nonsensical post but you have done a far superior job to anything I could hope to achieve. You certainly poured cold water on the nonsense many here like to spout about India's space program being nothing but a vanity project and not serving India's needy (which is ISRO's mandate anyway).
