For transport road as well as rail link to Diu is very pathetic likely Rajkot-Veraval-Una-Rajula-Bhavnagar-Baroada/ Ahmedabad. I am seeing this road link since my childhood very upset and still same situation , why can't we Indian make good and smooth road. this link will also greatly helped for sasan gir tourism. Further Rail link is also worst with meter gauge which was constructed during british period and local M.P also never bother it. Why can't we construct this link with broad gauge rail.

why PWD/Panchayat construct water supply and storm water drainage parallel in close proximity. we can understand some time due space issue, but can't we construct underground system in depth which should include water supply, drainage , electric line, gas line ,telephone line ,etc which does not require any digging after for maintenance ,.. seen so many times government authority construct new road and later on within fifteen days ,they again start digging of newly construct road.

For a smart city smart urban transport is necessary.why can we have a ATM in all the bus stop so that banks get a space for establishing the ATM it will also serve the issue of security with a guard and CCTV in place and also the air conditioning of bus stop.

Hello Sir,
I am from Diu, I would like share that Diu has huge potential for renewable energy, one is being installation of solar panel is going on. Further, this an Island can produce electricity from wind and ocean wave. sanitation and water sewerage should be top priority through well managed and should be construct by reliable engineer, as most of construction done by local contractor who is not competent. Can't we prevent road potholes created by government authority ?
