China is going ahead at lightning speed. We see news here that a Bridge built by Britishers 100 years back which was passed as safe by NHAI last month, falls with Bus & cars on it, killing several people.
A report by the authority studying railway bridges' durability has come out with a report that 14,000+ railway bridges in India made in British times need urgent attention for rebuilding otherwise they can be deadly. This reconstruction involves a cost of 14,000 crores. The report has been sidelined as pending by the authorities as some people are of the view that Ahmedabad to Mumbai needs a Bullet Train involving 90,000 crores more urgently, to show off to the world the speed of development going on in India. Bullet train will be shown at News channels across the globe but the bridges going down will be covered by the local media only so who cares. Few deaths , some bit of compensation , political bosses showing their condolences , tweeting about their heartfelt emotions, helicopter supervision and the incident buries down in the archives of accidental history.
