What administrative lapse most often causes public safety risks during major urban infrastructure projects?

💡 Explanation:

Major infrastructure projects, particularly those crossing existing utility and municipal infrastructure, require strict regulatory oversight and formal Non-Objection Certificates (NOCs) or clearances from the relevant municipal corporation (e.g., KMC). The failure of the project implementing agency to formally notify or obtain clearance before altering existing municipal systems, such as drainage, represents a critical breakdown in inter-agency coordination, directly leading to unmonitored safety hazards.
