Why are roads killing citizens while contractors get richer? One viral post is exposing the hidden links between politics, profit, and public safety.
India’s roads are making billionaires — and killing citizens. That’s the stark warning from Anuradha Tiwari, an indian founder whose social media post demanding full transparency in road projects has gone viral. His appeal? A public portal detailing who built the roads, who approved them, the total cost, the politicians involved, and the firms responsible for maintenance.
Tiwari’s post strikes at the heart of a simmering outrage: recurring accidents on roads plagued with potholes, poor construction, and mismanaged funds.
“Contractors are becoming billionaires while people die on roads,” he wrote, igniting a wave of support from citizens frustrated by an opaque system. social media users have proposed adding QR codes on highways to instantly report potholes, and a grievance portal to lodge complaints directly to an ombudsman — a vision that seems radical in a country where infrastructure accountability is minimal.
The viral post has exposed a hidden, systemic issue: contractors and public officials are often intertwined, benefiting financially while public safety suffers. Many fear that without full disclosure, every pothole, accident, or delay is a symptom of a profit-driven system where citizens pay the price.
Yet, the conversation also underscores a painful reality: outrage online rarely translates into institutional change. For many, Tiwari’s post is a mirror reflecting the failure of governance — and the sheer scale of corruption hiding in plain sight. It’s not just about roads; it’s about how public funds are routed, how contracts are awarded, and who holds the power to question it.
India is witnessing a growing public demand for transparency in infrastructure spending, one that could challenge billionaires’ unchecked gains and prevent unnecessary deaths. Whether the government responds or dismisses it as online noise remains to be seen — but Tiwari’s viral appeal has already set off one undeniable ripple: citizens are asking the hard questions.
