Eighteen piers on various corridors of the Delhi Metro are reported to have developed “minor� cracks and the Metro Rail Corporation has kept them under observation. It is now absolutely necessary to apply the precautionary principle and investigate the problem in real time by attaching gadgets measuring stresses and strains with microchips so data is available on a pendrive like plugin at various points on all the pillars because of impulse stresses created by waves of shocks like a sledge hammer effect very frequently in the area. These are caused by Rayleigh waves emanating from the centers of gravity of heavily dammed regions due to impulse water pressure heads due to torrents of rains(monsoon storage build up in reservoirs/hydrogenerators(dry season water withdrawal). Not only these cause damage causing earthquakes which trigger events like bridge collapse but also the persistent hotspots resulting in impulse changes of weather even quite realistically causing floods and air crashes. It is not a coincidence that the sequence of air crashes in June and July were also accompanied by Metro collapses. All of these were without exception, at cluster points of earthquakes and in between hotspots. A thorough investigation of rapid climate change making present designs obsolete is immediately in order. See httpcolonslashslashcollateralsofclimatechangedotblogspotdotcom for the expose. See the interconnectedness of everything as the Gita says or perish.Seek the truth.

In past it has happened in bangalore and other places where gammon is involved in these projects. Though gammon has great reputation of building good constructions. It still seems to lack these basic quality issues one need to address. Government should take careful measures of past records before passing these projects. People die but gammon doesnot even announce any compensations from their side to affected people.

I think govt should not award any other project to Gammon India and ask the company to remove India from its name . Also cross check all its other projects. And impose penalties .
