[Assam] From NY Times - India's Civil Engineering Achievements

[Dilip Deka]

If it is really a free market, the demand should improve the civil engineer salaries and get things rolling again. Why hasn't construction in the private sector sensed this? I can understand when engineers employed by the govt. are paid fixed salary lower than software engineers and PWD roads and bridges do not attract capable engineers. But now a days CPWD contracts out all road, bridge and airport design and construction to the private sector.
So, is the root cause here non functioning yet perceived free market?
