Dear MV,
I do agree to the facts enumerated by you,but, please tell me why should Ratan Tata only focus on the  troubles?This is the responsibility of our elected representatives and also of all of us.So lets focus on what Ratan Tata has done ,ie,live up to his promise and talk of these issues at a later time
Q

yes  RATAN TATA has really made a revolution with nano. It really fulfilled the dreams of middle men and proved to be a commanmans car.But on the other side it add up to the  problems like traffic, parking,pollution,etc.,but government should try to improve the infrastructure facilitites like parking and laying more number of roads.

While those responsible for road maintanence are to be blamed for their poor quality, even the capacity of good and even excellent roads are limited. There is somethintg like a saturation point. In Delhi for instance, over 300 cars are registered daily! flyovers are being built left and right but they are not able to keep pace with the number of cars going up by leaps and bounds.. Efficient  public transport systems are what we need and not cars. Tata should have focussed on manufacturing large, low emission buses instead of cars.  

dear ss,
thats what the govts should do..their work

dear ddas
I agree,thanks
Q

What infreastructure? The AP Governement says it cares damn for the general public and it cares only for the farmers. What about the abysmal state of roads? Of the lives lost due to the non-development of the roads? Any one can sit and argue of the merits and demerits of focussing on agriculture but that does not mean one should ignore the other sectors. With just 0.5 % ( may be evn less)of the state's population travelling on the NH 9, more are killed on the road than the entire number of suicides by the farmers. And the buggers are busy in real estate business. Minting money their children might not enjoy due to a possible mishap (God Forbid!) on its roads.

Ratan Tata has delivered, delivered a true car not a glorified auto! I felt proud to see that car being driven into the show. If millions of 2 wheelers do not cause a crisis level problem on the roads why would a few nanos do! In any case let the people responsible take care of that. That is no excuse to stop progress.

Dear lakshmi,
thanks for your comprehensive comment.Btw I'd had the book in mind! Gina was capitivating though
Quasimodo

Quasimodo,
What an intriguing pseudonym you have.......brings back visions of the famous hunchback, mostly Anthony Quinn and the luscious Gina Lolabrigida more so than the classic book!

Anyway, just wanted to say your comments on the Nano are very comprehensive covering the laurels to Tatas along with the very real fears that people have about hundreds of Nanos adding to the congestion on our already overloaded roads. But you are absolutely right, the powers-that-be that have been promising better infrastructure for traffic should be the ones who have to provide the answers. Thanks very much for your post.
