Here is an excerpt from the news in Hindustan times
Nano is unlikely to hit Bhutan roads in the next couple of years as the government feels Tata's "all-weather people's vehicle" will increase the number of cars phenomenally in the country resulting in heavy traffic congestion and pollution.
"There are a worrying number of motor vehicles in the country, especially in the capital," according to Road Safety and Transport Authority (RSTA) director Tashi Norbu.
"Vehicle buyers are aware that the Nano, called the world's cheapest car, will increase the number of motor vehicles in the country."
"We're looking at a city for people and not a city for cars," Norbu said.
Exactly what me and some of my cab mates discuss every morning. Every morning when we endure the looong journey from home to office, discussing everything from normal girls to superwomen (read rakhee sawant), from manmohan uncles second phase to some more normal girls... We daily think, wont we get bored of this 'this weeks hottest babes' topic everyday because instead of the normal 45 minute journey, the time will surely increase to 2 hours 45 minutes when every cycle, bike, auto and 11 number ki bus (read people who are walking), cows, buffaloes, horses etc. will be replaced by a NANO!!Its not that i am against the progress of science and technology, rather i am very pro towards vigyan ki tarakki.. but in my humble opinion, the already jammed road-frastructure (it is a new word which i created from road infrastructure) will become super clogged to a level that i have already planned our (me and rakhejee's) retirement home in bhutan!
By the way, talking about traffic jams.. I read Juggular vein in HT in which he proposed to rename Bangalore(or benglur or whatever its new name is) to Jam-glore.. a nice idea i must say!!
Some day, when i become the prime minister of some country ( and mind you, the day is not as far as you think, i am already getting tooo old, the first criteria for becoming a PM), i have planned to rename atleast one state on moon (80 years from now, i think we will have colonies on moon!) as Rakhee-pur!
howzat?

yes! India is not ready yet to take Nano on its roads!
With this infrastructure.... and wonderful parking facilities.... Nano gonna make the scenario more than worse!
I think Tata should discuss this with Mr.Singh regarding his contribution towards better infra in India before releasing full-fledged Nano distribution everywhere!
Right said about Nano. And I can very well see an old A.K. (no more the bond)
Aur rakheepur...mast ek dum mast!!! :D
rightly said...
People are opposing Nano beacause it is cheap,hence can be purchased by majority of middle class people.Several models of car are launched but nohues and crys were made. Why? This is hypocrisy.The elite middle class which has bought maruti in 1984 has other ideas.They don't give damn about infrastructure and public transport system.When the same power of purchasing goes to middle class now for Nano,it is worrying about parking facility and infrastructure. The cause of worry is developed when four wheeler would become common utility for everybody.The same reason of having car as luxury is applied when anybody buys Scorpio or Nano. It is right to have great concern about infrastructure of this nation but we have to pay for our lethargic nature. No awareness campaign and reform were made to public transport system except in few metro cities for betterment of them. Nano should come,so that all of us learn by mistake,not just opposing Nano because of its cheap price.And ,Bhutanese are correct by the way...They are learning from our mistakes.
i wanna marry a bhutanese girl...
and rakhee here too.. i wanna puke now.. but still i applied for that swayamwaar thingie.. did you?

Sorry, but even before reading the entire article I must say somehow the title of your post sounds absolutely patronising.
Are you insuniating that Bhutanese people should NOT be more intelligent than Indians. As one who have recently come back from Bhutan, you will be surprised at how law abiding the Bhutanese are
i wanted to buy a nano , bade hokar :(
kya bhaiya. why so cynical?
