Senseless public works

It is awfully disappointing that suddenly there started public works on the busy streets of Dhaka. Most of the busy roads have been occupied by huge sewerage pipes. Then comes the never ending digging of the roads, creating intolerable gridlocks even on the VIP roads, let alone other roads. How come the authorities started a comical digging just before monsoon? Couldn't they come a few months early? It looks like a complete mess where no provision has been kept for the passers-by even to cross the road. Digging and subsequent stockpiling of mud and sand on the middle of the streets look like bunkers and frequent rains have made it quite impossible to carry out the activities the authorities have opted for. It's strange that they don't have minimum consideration to public sufferings.
