Unfinished projects test the patience of residents

People exasperated over so many travails, for so long
Under Smart Cities Mission of the Central government, a slew of works have been undertaken in Madurai.
On the one hand, these projects - be it renovated Periyar bus stand or multi-level parking, sprucing up Masi streets and the vicinity of Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple - give some hope to the city residents that Madurai would soon join the list of cities with top notch infrastructure. On the other hand, undue delay in execution of every project has left the people exasperated, due to dug-up roads, traffic diversions, pollution and other travails. People patiently suffered without complaining, with the hope that soon they will reap the gains.
