All points you mentioned, I fully agree with you. All those are main cause. Now if you search for another causes, they may be- 1.Lack of professionalism 2.Lack of new thought process 3.Lack of updation to metro officials about old and new crowded nodes of kolkata and suburbs. #MRB

[@kaloalo3745]

Dhaka is building it's first metro line and it is building it pretty fast. In only two years it has made significant progress and hoping to lunch commercial service on 2021. I hope our brother city Kolkata would be able to resolve its problems on constructing metro as soon as possible. Some day these two cities will be connected by a high speed rail line. ^_^

[@ToThoseWhoGotHurtByMeIAMSORRY]

Bangladesh has a good government , they have risen very fast , whereas Kolkata it is opposite , Kolkata was very developed City considering rest of the cities in 1970-80s but it has fallen afterwards .

[@angshumanbhattacharjee7317]

Thanks for making this very detailed video on Kolkata Metro. It has touched all the right points in explaining the delay in the Kolkata Metro project. Somehow the delay in the Kolkata Metro also reflects the declining importance of Kolkata in India's financial and strategic growth. I am very emotionally attached to Kolkata, but having lived for several years in Delhi and Bangalore, I have seen how those cities have transformed over the years and how my city of joy is left far behind. I think the video mentioned all the factors but one; the people of the state and their mindset. We Bengalis are stuck in time-wrap and their is hardly any discussion in the state on crumbling social infrastructure, lack of jobs and economic stagnation. If people think that changing the government alone will bring change, they are wrong. BJP if voted in 2021 can make some cosmetic changes, but there is a need for a change among the people. We Bengalis love to take pride in their culture, language, and identity; we should be , but our pride has turned into arrogance. We love to read books, debate on politics, to cinemas or any topic under the sun, but we don't debate on state’s poor finances and creaking infrastructure. Hope things change for better in future.

[@mdam1977]

Totally agree with your POV Angshuman the mindset of people in Bengal needs to change then only there is any hope else just by changing the party that forms govt at Center or State level or some changes in leadership will just help with some cosmetic changes.

As per my knowledge the major reason is the lack of interest from state government. State government has money to waste for useless reasons but they don't have money for any development works on state.

[@ayanfeelingood]

When the current state regime is too busy funding "Parar Clubs", Durga Pujos, Maulanas' stipends... and so on, it's clearly visible where the priorities of the state govt in WB lies. The idea is to offer small tiny soaps for the undereducated section of the population (which continues to constitute the majority of Bengal's demographics today), in sheer exchange for their votes in the upcoming elections. As long as votes keep pouring in, and cheap policies and soaps are in offer, such attitude shall continue for good. Govts in West Bengal have successively been run by goons and thugs (earlier under the disguise of Bhadralok), and these rotten scumbags are least bothered to serve the interests and needs of the working class educated section of the population (who actually use infrastructure like Metro on a daily basis). They don't bother giving two hoots to the interests of the tax-paying citizens of the state. Only God can save Bengal, if at all there exists such an Entity...

[@sourav7624]

Sera ♥️

[@arnab1211]

Below are few cents from me: 1. Politicians are unsure of political dividends for such costly project success - can it damage their pro-poor image? 2. There is lack of matching grant from state due to other priorities 3. Foreign funding can only come if we work with reasonable deadline which is ruled out 4. Lower operating ratio due to low cost of tickets deters railway operation 5. There are vested interests from private bus and taxi/cab owners who are set to lose sizable business when metro shall be operational with criss-cross connectivity 6. Contractors are benefitting from price escalations for each phase of project delays. It is a lifetime business 7. State policy to re-settle illegal occupants encouraging newer occupants everyday 8. Finally, this delay is also helping builders to sell apartments with hopes and promises for metro connectivity. Some apartments are resold multiple times in this long waiting time. State is making money with stamp duty for each transaction as usual Last but not the least, with reasonable confidence we can wait another generation (40 to 50 yrs) for this project completion.
