The odd part

Tendering as a spiritual test of patience for bridge repairs.

What happened

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has decided to launch a 'short tender' for the repair of the cracked Subhash Bridge after their previous tender attracted only one lonely bidder. Since the bridge has been closed since December, the AMC is hoping that a second contractor will eventually swipe right on the project, while commuters practice advanced meditation in the resulting traffic jams.
