As suggested in the editorial, the serious flaws in the design of the project should be rectified so as to avoid jeopardizing human lives and colossal financial losses.
Luckily the audit report has given a timely wake-up call beforehand. It is mandatory to adhere to international standards in execution of such mega projects to ensure cost-effectiveness and safety, as is rightly asserted in the editorial.
