Several infrastructure projects initiated by the Modi government have failed to withstand recent heavy rains, exposing flaws in construction and planning. Major projects such as airports, the Ram Temple, and the Central Vista Project suffered significant damage, including roof leaks and road collapses. Officials cited extreme weather, but underlying issues like corruption, poor town planning, and inadequate waste management also contributed to the failures.
Airports and Ram Temple Impact
In Jabalpur, Delhi, and Rajkot, the airport canopies collapsed due to the rains, raising questions about the quality of construction. Similarly, the newly constructed Ram Temple in Ayodhya faced roof leakages, and surrounding roads caved in, causing disruptions and highlighting the need for better planning and execution in high-cost projects.
Central Vista Project Concerns
The Central Vista Project in Delhi, another high-profile initiative, also faced significant water damage. This multi-billion rupee project was expected to be a symbol of modern Indian infrastructure. However, the recent rains have exposed vulnerabilities, suggesting that more robust construction standards and effective drainage systems are essential.
Calls for Accountability
The failures of these projects have led to public outcry and calls for accountability. Critics argue that the focus on grand projects should be balanced with practical considerations like weather resilience and environmental impact. The government is urged to address these issues promptly to prevent future infrastructure failures.
