Which of the following statement causes the continuation of bridge rebuilding, road repairs, and waterline repairs in India? (i) Inadequate maintenance leading to ongoing repairs (ii) Utility cuts and rework (iii) Poor initial construction quality (iv) Fair prices given to workers
(i), (ii), (iii)
Public infrastructure in India often needs repeated rebuilding and repair because assets are not maintained regularly, so small defects grow into major failures.
Utility cuts, where newly laid roads are dug up again for water, sewer, power or telecom lines because of poor coordination among agencies, lead to repeated rework; and poor quality of the original construction shortens the life of roads, bridges and pipelines.
Paying fair wages to workers does not cause repeated repairs, so that statement is not a reason.
Hence, (i), (ii), (iii).
