Unfinished business

Construction site at Mahatma Gandhi (M.G.) Road

The construction and building of new condo high rises, shopping malls and office complexes is going on throughout the city, more so on the outskirts -- taking their place next to garbage dumps, sewage drains, empty lots and shanty towns. On many streets there are no sidewalks for pedestrians, and even though the buildings are completed and open for business, the whole street looks somehow unfinished.
