The odd part

Pre-collapsed infrastructure to save the taxpayers from the boredom of long-term stability.

What happened

A brand-new guard wall on the recently expanded National Highway-19 in West Bengal has collapsed, demonstrating that 'Viksit Bharat' speed applies to gravity too. Commuters were surprised to find the highway already in 'maintenance mode' just months after the expansion was celebrated as an engineering feat. Locals suggest the wall simply couldn't handle the pressure of being finished on time.
