It is a source of concern. Some 12 months ago, Roadbridge, a large civil engineering company that was building roads all over the country, seemed to have been in the healthiest state one could imagine but, suddenly, the company folded. NBI is in a similar realm. It is doing civil works. It is excavating and it has fuel costs, road crews and everything else, yet there are certain caps to the contract. In the context of the equity and money made available by the State for the roll-out, are there concerns or pitfalls of which the committee needs to be aware, be they relating to financial issues, roll-out speed or anything like that?
