[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T166: The life of an e-riksha puller yet they are amongst the happiest lot on the earth!

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T165: We are yet to take any steps in this direction..yet our codes are revised one after another assuming that all responsibilities are with Contractors!

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T164:After earthquake or flood, we hardly have any mechanism for checking the health of structures..woking after such events happens..then we do what's not desired for bridges, e.g.

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T163: Infrastructure category and rating..being practiced since 1988...so there is a reason to assume the worth of health assessment of our infrastructures..which is yet to catch up..we get up only during Crisis..

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T162: Over scorecard for the 19 different categories of Infrastructure that includes parks, Levees, railways, roads, port,...overall GRADE C- (below average) and see the audacity of ASCE professionals..which is must to be respected by the quality of services rendered..

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T161: Infrastructure report card of US (2021) by ASCE, a very respected professional body known to Civil Engineering discipline..$1.2 trillion bills passed based on the report..no interventions by so-called non-experts, who are inside the decision making body..

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T160: We are not yet far from being a Disaster monger - making haywire in the situation... yet a bit of preparedness makes things far better...

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-T159: Earthquake Early warning system that saved a Bullet train in 2004 and technological advancements that yet to be inculcated in the country..

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-158: Taking care of the bridges that are bound to fail during earthquakes but they can be made resilient...

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

Green coconuts - a must requirement for all facing Summer heat in April...see the life sketch of the services and life being dealt with..

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

Our roads need gradation for their serviceability - in USA Roads got D grade..as per report published by ASCE-2021

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

@amitabhk87 https://t.co/MMkHuahtVw needing immediate attention...

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-156:Kodomari landslides, before and after in Japan... doing such a highly skillful works in the country is still awaited but we are doing lots' of Joint Venture project/ studies/research/training and constructions in the country, including DAMs, bullet trains..tunnels..

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-155: Along NH-44 (Ramban, pic-1) elsewhere in our Hill, hill cuts are so severe for the obvious need to the construction of road or road widening, ..it's very much required to think over alternative ways of slope treatment (as one shown in Pic-2)

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-154:Road sides along Manali and erosion friendly scars, (pic-1) can better be treated by vetiver grass...it's not denied that all landslides problem will be solved by Grass but majority can be taken care of well (Pic-2)

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-153: Ramban (J-K), Nov 11 (ANI): Vehicular traffic between Jammu and Srinagar remains suspended for second consecutive day following a landslide at Digdole area. Hundreds of vehicles are stranded on both ...look at the plausible long term solution..

[Chandan Ghosh, PhD, DEng. @cghosh24]

CG-152: Along NH-44, we have got such a vertical hill cut, a small portion stabilised nicely by good looking Shot-crete sans weepholes for drainage..is again an indication of blunders in road constructions
