The odd part

A major irrigation project celebrates 365 days of being an unintentional archaeological site.

What happened

The Srisailam Left Bank Canal (SLBC) project has hit a historic milestone: exactly one year since a roof collapse halted all work, with absolutely no attempts made to resume. While the government continues to promise a restart 'any day now,' the tunnel has become a monument to bureaucratic permanence, successfully protecting the surrounding rocks from being disturbed by any form of progress or heavy machinery.
