The reason India has terrible roads that break down during monsoon rains is explained phenomenally in this hidden blog by legendary civil engineer PS Kandhal.

The MoRTH/IRC highway specs includes 7 water-trapping bitumen mixes which don't last >1-2yrs. Construction contractors make way more on higher life cycle costs, recurring annual tenders with "fat" pothole repair budgets.

There are also tons of other reasons like a) cutting roads for utility lines without a rebuild b) poor auditing c) straight up using worse materials than the spec d) over-use of funds to visible public roads that causes budget issues, and e) contractors bribing the govt to secure contracts.

Either @FinMinIndia is totally not aware of ground reality or taking people for a ride. We all know most of them pass that 2% MDR as extra charge on card swipes. That is now going to come to @UPI_NPCI More middle class squeeze coming

UPI Charges Only For Merchants, Not Customers: N Sitharaman On New Tax Bill
https://t.co/6w5tcnhQdT

[vadakkus @vadakkus]

It requires some sensational levels of delulu naivete to believe that merchants won't pass the MDR on to customers. Larger merchants might absorb them like they do for credit card MDR, but all the smaller everyday merchants who operate on wafer-thin margins will absolutely charge the customers or demand cash. Well most small merchants won't even accept UPI on RuPay credit cards fearing MDR.

This is their definition of Rumble Strips 🤡 under the visionary leadership of minsters and babus of @MORTHIndia @MORTHRoadSafety Every single one of them behind this tweet justifying this should be summarily fired.

[NHAI @NHAI_Official]

As reported by some sections of the media regarding construction of rumble strips at the median opening near Prathvipura village on NH-25 in Rajasthan, NHAI would like to inform that the media reportage does not depict the actual condition of the section. The construction of rumbling strips is being carried out at the request of the local public representative to enhance the safety of both National Highway users and the residents of the village.

NHAI appreciates the valuable feedback received from the Highway users and remains committed to ensure a safe travel experience for all commuters.

SIAM FLAGS SERIOUS E20 FUEL QUALITY ISSUES TO GOVERNMENT

Key concerns raised by SIAM:

Chloride contamination reportedly reached 500 mg/kg, raising corrosion and component wear risks.

Moisture levels exceeded 10,000 mg/kg, far above the 3,000 mg/kg specification, increasing the risk of ethanol-water phase separation.

Automakers have reported a sharp rise in fuel injector and fuel pump replacements.

SIAM attributes the issue primarily to ageing underground fuel storage tanks and pipelines.

SIAM has reportedly urged the government to:

Make chloride limits mandatory in E20 fuel specifications.
Enforce stricter quality monitoring by oil marketing companies (OMCs) at retail fuel outlets.

I walked into the dealership today to take delivery of my brand-new car. I walked out without it.

All banking formalities were completed and the full payment for my Maruti Suzuki Victoris had already been made. Naturally, I expected a brand-new, defect-free vehicle.

However, during the pre-delivery inspection, I noticed visible scratches around the headlamp area and a few other issues. I declined delivery and made a simple request:

Please replace this vehicle with another brand-new, defect-free unit.

The response was surprising:

"The vehicle cannot be replaced because the registration and insurance have already been processed on this chassis number."

My question to @Maruti_Corp @MSArenaOfficial is simple:

Why should a customer bear the consequences of a dealer's administrative haste when the customer has not even accepted delivery of the vehicle??

A customer pays for a new car, not a compromised one.

I am not asking for any special favour. I am only asking for what every customer deserves, a brand-new, defect-free vehicle.

I hope Maruti Suzuki will resolve this matter fairly and reinforce customer trust.

What do you think? Should a customer be entitled to a replacement vehicle in such a situation?

This rumble strip is built solely to make money for someone; the rest of the clarification is merely a cover‑up.

A speed breaker is the most efficient small scam available in Indian road contracting, let's understand why.

Starting with the cost.

A hump across two lanes of highway needs a few tonnes of bitumen mix, one truck, one roller, four workers, and about half a day. The material cost is small. The labour cost is smaller. There is no engineering in it, no survey, no drawings, no testing.

The interesting part is to look at how it gets billed.

Inside every highway contract there is a small budget head for what the industry calls road furniture and minor works. Paint, signboards, lane markings, cat eyes, reflectors, strips.

Because the amount is small, it does not need a fresh tender. It does not need a design approval. It does not need a road safety audit. It gets cleared locally as a minor work. Nobody at head office is going to fight over eight lakhs inside a three hundred crore project.

The file will never be opened again.

So the input is one day of work and the output is a bill nobody will ever check.

That gap is where they make money.

Then it repeats. A tar hump on a highway carrying heavy trucks breaks up within a year. Which means it gets re-laid. Which means it gets billed again. And again.

The same fifteen metres of road can be paid for four times in five years and every one of those bills looks perfectly normal on paper.

This is why these things keep appearing on roads where they are banned. It is the cheapest possible way to invoice the government.

Needless to say, the bill of materials on the invoice costs far less than the actual invoice amount, so it is cleared quickly.

The local leader is even happy to be fund the invoice. He gets a photo standing next to it. He tells the village he stopped the accidents on that stretch.

It cost him nothing.

So the officer gets a paper trail, the contractor gets a bill, and the politician gets credit.

The people driving on that road are not in this conversation at all. They are from another district. They pass through in eleven minutes. Nobody in that chain will ever hear from them.

And this is not one highway.

Mumbai traffic police broke 56 unauthorised speed breakers after a single survey, and the officer in charge said most of them had been built on the suggestion of a local politician or a housing society.

In Karnataka, the PWD minister stood in the assembly and admitted that 99 percent of humps on highways and major roads are unscientific, and that on one national highway stretch, 70 out of 84 humps followed no standard at all.

In Bengaluru, 298 humps were formally identified as illegal and the corporation removed none of them.

On a four lane highway in Himachal, NHAI put a hump after every single kilometre. The jerks on that stretch were later named as one of the reasons an unborn child died in an ambulance being shifted between two hospitals.

Every one of those is the same transaction repeated.

There are rules against this, a 2016 circular from the road ministry says speed breakers should not be built on national highways because they defeat the entire purpose of an obstruction free high speed road.

In 2023, NHAI answered an RTI saying there are no guidelines for putting rumblers on highways, and that specific instructions had been issued to all project directors to remove speed breakers and keep stretches patchless for road users including ambulances.

NHAI wrote that. Then their project managers approved this.

The frustrating part is that this is a stain on something India has genuinely done well. The highway network is close to 1.46 lakh km now. The road surfaces hold up.

Travel times between cities have collapsed in ten years. FASTag removed hours of waiting that we had all quietly accepted as normal. Anyone who drove long distance in 2010 and drives now knows the difference is enormous.

And speed on those roads is a real problem worth solving. 64,772 people died on national highways in 2024, more than a third of all road deaths in the country.

But that gets solved with enforcement. One expressway moved to average speed cameras and annual deaths fell from 188 in 2023 to 56 in 2024.

Cameras are the opposite of a speed breaker in one important way. They create a record. Records get audited.

Nobody makes money off a camera the way they do off a hump that has to be relaid every year.

That is the reason we get humps. If this had been about safety there would be an audit report to point at.

@NHAI_Official @MORTHIndia under visionary leadership of Gadkari wants your vehicle in repair shop as much as possible with flex fuel and these kind of speed breakers and rumble strip so that both farmers and mechanics have stable income

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

A few days ago, this video went viral, showing speed breakers on NH-25. People naturally assumed that locals had installed them, because who else would? After all, speed breakers are illegal on highways.

Today, NHAI issued a "clarification" that they only had installed them at the "request" (read: political lobbying or pressure) of a local public representative, and that these are not speed breakers but rumble strips. Lol!

The way these people think the aam janta of this country has no brains of their own is unbelievable!

[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Ajeet Bariya, 21, a resident of Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, developed severe breathing difficulties.

His father called the State Govt’s 108 helpline, explained his son's condition, and specifically requested oxygen support. Although the ambulance arrived an hour later, the attendants refused to give oxygen without a doctor’s prescription.

Upon arriving at the nearest govt hospital, the attending doctor reprimanded the ambulance staff for their negligence, ordered them to administer oxygen immediately, and referred Ajeet to the district hospital.

While the staff finally administered oxygen for the transfer, the supply ran out halfway to the hospital, and Ajeet died gasping for breath. Videos of his distraught family weeping at the district hospital have since surfaced online; one of them shows Ajeet struggling for air in the ambulance, though it is too sensitive to share.

Most state-funded ambulance services function like this. They operate as if they are merely transport vehicles rather than the first link in the chain of emergency medical care. Ambulances often arrive late, staff frequently lack emergency medical training, and life-saving equipment is missing, outdated, non-functional, or poorly maintained. There are no clearly enforced SOPs, little accountability, inadequate supervision, and almost no meaningful quality audits.

The Cockroach Janta Party people could not maintain the pretence of genuine concern for student issues even for a month.

Student Protests against State Governments in Jharkhand, Kerala and Punjab are underway currently and yet not a single have they said about them.
Because there's anti-BJP Governments in all these states.

People see through these things.
Whatever sympathy they might have had is gone.

Why she shouldn’t get all the vile abuses that she is very comfortable to dish out? What happened to equality et al?

[Sayema @_sayema]

Urging Ruchika’s parents and friends to give her lots and lots of love and comfort. She didn’t deserve one bit of this targetting and hounding. She is just a child. And she needs to be protected and counselled. This country is full of vile misogynists.

[#EverybodyLies @_TearsOfTheSon]

No equality and equal treatment like men? The abuse they chose was MC, BC which was more to demean women than to abuse men. The men taking offence to such abuse must care more about the women in their family then what these women did.

[Sakshi Narula @mssakshinarula]

May the women of this country be the reason why his rule ends. The way women have been disrespected and abused in this country, a system that doesn't support them and tortures them needs to go. It's 2026 and women are still fighting for their humanity and dignity.

It is a tragedy that the land of Ahimsa became complicit in another nation's illegal war.

If we are truly the Hindu nation the BJP claims we are, then we must also believe in the Law of Karma.

Violence against the innocent never goes unanswered. Every unjust act triggers an inescapable cosmic reaction that no power, wealth or propaganda can escape.

Karma always collects its debt. Modi’s darbar will turn into dust.

[Gabbar @GabbbarSingh]

Apparently the slayers of patriarchy are defending freedom of being a misogynist. All the slurs, they are defending, are aimed at demeaning women.

Every abuse is about female anatomy. The same guys would come at your throat, if one utters the word kitchen, suddenly they are okay with dragging the body parts of a female foreign leader.

[#EverybodyLies @_TearsOfTheSon]

That’s why each hurt police officer should register FIR and accused should experience full force of law! Don’t run an anarchy club when you have zero control over who can barge in.

[Dr. Ruchika Sharma @tishasaroyan]

It's fascinating how men use the women related to them in order to seek sympathy and be the victim. Plenty of women her age got brutally lathi charged, slapped and harassed by male police officers on July 20. Let nothing distract you from that!
