The odd part

The world's first biodegradable 10-crore bridge that returns to the riverbed after one rain shower.

What happened

In a stunning display of bureaucratic speed, a newly constructed bridge over the Valmiki River in Manikpur decided to bypass the tedious ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Rs 10 crore project successfully crumbled during the season's first rain, proving that the Public Works Department has finally mastered 'on-demand' demolition. Locals are impressed that the bridge didn't wait to be burdened by actual traffic before retiring.
