Workers injured during BRT construction

The recent accident during the construction of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Line-3, which injured six workers, seem to be because of the rush to finish an already delayed project. A report in this daily on March 15, 2021 points out that though the government project was initially set to be completed within December 2016, as of February 2021, only 52 percent of the work has been carried out. The project has already gone through four revisions of the original plan, with the latest deadline of the handover of the project—June 2022—coming up soon.
