The odd part
Building an airport in a wetland and being shocked when the planes need snorkels.
What happened
The newly 'operational' Navi Mumbai International Airport has achieved a world first: an aviation hub that is terrified of rain. Built on a swampy wetland after 25 years of planning, the $2 billion project saw its opening ceremony delayed—ironically—by the very monsoon it was supposedly designed to withstand. While passengers were promised a world-class terminal, they may need to swap their trolleys for jet skis if the clouds look slightly grey. The project is named after an activist who fought against its construction, proving that in Indian bureaucracy, if you can't beat the protesters, you can at least use their name for the plaque.
