The odd part
The government successfully turned a 2-hour drive into a 20-hour spiritual journey where commuters learned to live without food, water, or toilets.
What happened
In a bold move to slow down fast-paced urban lives, the Maharashtra government oversaw a 20-hour traffic jam on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Authorities showcased their commitment to 'minimalist governance' by providing absolutely zero assistance, food, or water to thousands of stranded citizens, effectively turning the highway into India's largest un-gated residential community.
