The odd part
A bridge that took its 'Unsafe' certificate so seriously it decided to retire into a drain without waiting for a tender.
What happened
After the Delhi government valiantly spent months putting up barricades that were treated as optional parkour hurdles by locals, the 60-foot Roop Nagar iron bridge has officially resigned. It chose to merge with the 'nala' below on March 17, 2026. Engineers are reportedly relieved that they no longer have to worry about the bridge collapsing, as it has now reached its final, stable state of 'already collapsed.' Authorities had declared it unsafe in July 2025, but since the only alternative was a 2-km fitness detour, the bridge decided to provide a more permanent shortcut by simply no longer existing.
