The odd part
Solving a dust problem by initiating a city-wide construction project that generates record-breaking dust.
What happened
As Delhi wakes up to another day of 'Severe Plus' smog, the government has launched a masterstroke: building 400km of new roads. The logic is simple: if you pave everything, there is no ground left to produce dust. When reminded that construction sites are the primary source of fine particulate matter, officials suggested that citizens should simply 'hold their breath' until the project is completed in 2035. The plan is being hailed as the most expensive way to bury the problem under a layer of fresh concrete.
