BIAL is finally opening

Finally the centre has decided to close the existing HAL airport completely. The BIAL drama has been going on since a long time, whether we should keep the HAL airport, whether the short haul flights should continue from the HAL airport. But why this chaos, wasn't it very clear when the airport was planned that it would be too far, oh sorry at that time our government decided that they would develop the infrastructure to get to the new airport. But then they all were working at a apce at which the work generally progresses in this city , and they soon realized that its actually the time for BIAL to open. The BIAL is being headed by the consultants who were involved in the planning and construction of the Frankfurt airport, and they delivered quality construction on time.

When the government knew that we would need certain kind of infrastructure to call it a world class airport, or forget the world class part, for a fast access to the new airport, why were they sleeping till now ??? And now the best solution they can think of is keep the HAL airport operational. Well the decision makers are not taking into account:

1) The huge amount of tax payer's money that has gone in the construction of the new airport.
2) the huge amount of money that we would need to keep the HAL airport operational
3) The money they have blown up on constructing the roads and flyovers to the new airport
4) The government just cannot opt out of the contract with the BIAL, there is something called ethicality and legality. Well if the government can do this, then on mnoral grounds thewy should pardon each and every citizen who breaches the contract in the country!!

Above all, we are a sleeping nation, we don't like to work until and unless the problem is standing in front of us. What I feel is close the HAL airport, let the people and including these big shots suffer in reaching the airport, when we get into a problem only then we would think about its solution. Otherwise we would keep beating around the bush for ages to come!

Bangaloreans: Best of luck :-)
