Gwalior Road Corruption Exposed after a newly built road collapsed within hours of Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visit. The incident has raised serious questions about construction quality and civic accountability.
Amit Shah arrived in Gwalior on the night of December 24. Authorities hurriedly resurfaced the road from Surya Namaskar Tiraha to Akashvani Chauraha. The administration completed the asphalt work overnight to ensure a smooth convoy route.
The road looked polished for a few hours. Soon after Shah left the city, the upper asphalt layer began peeling off. Large patches broke apart, exposing poor-quality work.
Residents said the road crumbled like loose concrete. The incident added to Gwalior’s long list of road failures. Earlier, Chetakpuri Road sank multiple times within days of construction after rainfall.
Despite repeated embarrassment, civic officials continued such practices. This latest collapse intensified public anger. Citizens questioned how a road meant for a VIP visit failed so quickly.
After the damage surfaced, no municipal officer addressed the issue publicly. The silence fueled allegations of corruption and negligence. Opposition leaders also seized the moment to target the ruling administration.
The incident has once again spotlighted infrastructure mismanagement. Locals now demand accountability and strict action against those responsible for substandard construction.
