  • Waste of money. Bridge at what cost and time? No body is bothered about the contractor giving lame excuses to complete in time. Instead of the put such money to solve basic needs of common man in villages.

  • The 2.3 km long 2-lane Pamban road bridge, named Indira Gandhi Setu, is the first sea bridge of India. It was opened in 1988. The railway bridge that adjoins it was opened in 1914 and is still in use. The 5.6 km long 8-lane Bandra-Worli sea bridge, named Rajiv Gandhi Setu, is the second sea bridge of the country.
  • Bridge was made from the money of taxpayers common people but they are not allowed to walk on that also. All other bridges in the world has walking lane on it.
