India Jul 01, 2025

The much-awaited Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, built at a cost of approximately ₹12,000 to ₹13,000 crore to cut travel time between the two cities to just 2.5 hours, is under fire after the very first rainfall caused a huge hole in the road.
The damage has sparked serious concerns about construction quality and how public funds are being used.
