One of my role model Mr. E Sreedharan, Padma Vibhushan, Chief of Delhi Metro has resigned today. Today is a sad day for delhi for two reason. first it was third mishap on delhi metro since its inception caused five casualty so far and second due to resignation of Mr Sreedharan.
At the age of 77, he is serving for people of this country. As far as I know, he has done a gr8 job in developing Konkan Railways and Delhi metro against all odds. In India where bureaucratic hurdles delays each project, he has shown that a world class infrastructure can be developed in our country. We are not entitled to be called as third world country.
Having worked closely with government department I know how a project complets and reach its end. I am not sure but when government started Delhi metro project way back in late nineties, they approached mr E sreedharan. I heard that he put some conditions that he should be given free hand in all area of metro functioning, no bureaucratic hurdles, no political interfere and result is in front of us.
He has shown to the our fellow countrymen as well as other countries that we Indians are not behind other countries। At this age, he deserve a great accolade। He has resigned because DMRC is famous for its safety record and today five labour died in the mishap. He shouldnt have given the resign because it is fault of some other officers in charge but he has taken its moral responsibility. No beaureaucrat has that much courage to do so. They always play safe.
He could give us metro because he has courage, dedication and vision. If delhi govt. accepts his resignation, I am pretty sure that DMRC will not be able to complete its task in time. Compare it with Bangalore metro a project with hell lot of chaos. I mentioned in one of my previous blog that why we cant find a man out of 1.1 billion population who is comparable to Mr E sreedharan.
I think delhi junta should come forward and ask him to carry out responsibilities till commonwealth games. as far as I concern, I have full faith only in him to finish the project not in any other officer/bureaucrat.
