What happened

Tamil Nadu Transmission has officially cancelled a major infrastructure contract with BGR Energy after the company missed several 'stipulated milestones.' Authorities noted that while they appreciate a healthy level of procrastination in public works, the contractor's delays were so consistent that they became predictable. This predictability threatened the government's long-standing tradition of 'Infrastructure Surprises,' where projects are expected to remain in a state of 'almost finished' for at least two decades before a final, sudden cancellation.
