Letters: Metro-man

Shyamal Majumdar’s “Game Changers” (Dec 28) did a good job talking of the Indians who have changed the last decade, and predictably the list begins with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and contains the Ambani brothers, LN Mittal and even golden oldies like Amitabh Bachchan. Majumdar’s list, however, is incomplete without mentioning people such as E Sreedharan, the chief of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). At a time when everyone associated the public sector with poorly executed projects, Sreedharan proved them wrong and gave the Capital a world-class Metro that is the envy of many. All of this, it is important to keep in mind, was executed within the government system as well as with public sector salaries. - Ajai Shukla: My way on the highway">Ajai Shukla: My way on the highway - Obama admn accords high importance to ties with India in 2009 - The game changers - Buddha meets PM - Engaging Pakistan - PM stresses more spending on science & Tech Majumdar would have done well to mention others like the GMR and GVK groups that have taken big risks to deliver on world-class infrastructure projects at a time when few others were willing to do this. It would have been better if a few of India’s infrastructure giants were included in the list. Perhaps they are not as big as those who figure in the list, but their contributions will be felt for longer. S Gupta, New Delhi
