Pointless Work

Drains are being built on Chaduranga Road (the road in front of JCE)

The above photo shows the new storm water drain next to JCE compound. The drain is higher than the road and so water from the road can not enter the drain. On top of it, the drain is covered, making doubly sure that rain water does not get into the drain. If rain water can not get into the rain water drain, why build it?
This photo shows a drain being constructed across the road. As seen, there are several underground pipes and cables along the road and the new drain is being constructed right across them.If any of these pipes or cables needs to be repaired, the drain will have to be dug up. If a little foresight had been used, this situation would not have arisen at all.
