India is building over 30 kilometres of roads every day. Though it’s a good number to state, behind it sits a quieter truth: budgets are stretched thin. The United States, despite having one of the world’s largest highway networks, faces the same pressure with aging roads, spiralling maintenance costs, and constant public demand for…
Over 200 people were killed when flash floods swept through the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand in 2021. A cloudburst in Kishtwar earlier this August claimed at least 67 lives, left around 200 missing, and injured more than 300. And let’s not assume this is only a developing-world problem.
