When Will the Endless Road Excavation End?

Letter To the Editor
Dear Sir,

City roads have become permanent testing grounds for development projects. One agency digs up a road to install pipelines, while another excavates the same road for electricity or communication connections. After completion, roads are often covered up temporarily, only to be dug up again within days.

This recurring excavation causes traffic congestion, dust pollution, waterlogging and accidents. Pedestrians, students, patients and working people suffer the most.

The question is simple: how many times should a road be dug up? Uncoordinated development wastes public funds and causes unnecessary suffering for citizens. Without proper coordination among relevant agencies, a lasting solution remains impossible.

Therefore, an integrated work plan, fixed deadlines and mandatory road restoration must be ensured before any excavation begins. Proper monitoring should verify whether roads have been restored to their original condition. Development is necessary, but endless road excavation in its name is unacceptable.
