Development without accountability doesn’t last long. Roads, bridges, and buildings are often showcased as signs of progress, yet many crumble within months. When governance turns into a photo opportunity, the results are as fragile as the promises that built them.
In Madhya Pradesh, a newly constructed road recently collapsed, leaving behind a massive thirty-foot-deep crater. The project had cost hundreds of crores, and tolls were already being collected. Now, that same road stands as a symbol of neglect and corruption.
What was meant to be progress has turned into proof of failure. Experts point to poor materials, rushed work, and a lack of supervision. Citizens are demanding answers, questioning why public money keeps vanishing while accountability remains missing.
This collapse is more than a structural failure—it’s a collapse of trust. When taxpayers see grand inaugurations followed by broken infrastructure, confidence in the system erodes faster than concrete in the rain.
The issue isn’t limited to one road or one state. Across India, infrastructure projects rise quickly and fall just as fast. The pace of construction often exceeds the speed of quality checks and audits, leaving safety and sustainability behind.
Public anger is growing, but attention keeps drifting toward minor controversies instead of real failures. It’s time outrage focused on what truly matters—the foundations of governance cracking beneath us while those responsible remain silent.
