Solving the 'crisis of crumbling cities' by handing out gold medals to administrators in a luxury banquet hall.
Top bureaucrats and ministers descended upon Jammu for the National Governance Conference on 'Holistic Development of Districts.' While the conference successfully reached its goal of '100% saturation' of tea and biscuits, reports simultaneously highlighted that urban local bodies across India remain 'defunct' and 'weakest tiers of democracy.' The highlight of the event was a session on 'Viksit Bharat' where officials shared PowerPoint slides of futuristic cities, carefully designed to distract from the actual city outside where the 'Smart City' drainage system had just surrendered to a light drizzle. It is a true marvel of governance to fix systemic collapse with a well-formatted PDF.
