Maharashtra Road Crumbles in Man’s Hands, Viral Video Sparks Outrage Over Construction Quality

In the video, the man is seen peeling away chunks of the tar road without the need for any tools—underscoring the substandard materials or negligent construction practices possibly involved in the project. Locals claim the road was recently laid under a government development scheme and had not even faced any vehicular load or rain damage before crumbling.

Public reactions to the video have been scathing, with citizens calling it a glaring example of corruption and poor oversight. Social media users are tagging government officials, demanding accountability and strict action against the contractors responsible.

Opposition parties have also picked up on the issue, accusing the state administration of turning a blind eye to rampant malpractice in infrastructure tenders.

Local authorities have yet to respond with an official statement, but the video has intensified demands for a thorough investigation and structural audit of recently completed roads in the area.

The incident is not isolated—similar complaints of poor-quality roadwork have emerged in other parts of the state, but the visual proof from Nanded has lent fresh urgency to the matter.

Experts have pointed out that roads constructed without adherence to Indian Road Congress (IRC) standards pose serious safety risks. Inferior construction not only leads to faster wear and tear but also increases the likelihood of accidents—especially during the monsoon season.

Meanwhile, activists and citizens' forums are calling for transparency in tender processes and real-time monitoring of government-funded construction work. Some are even demanding third-party quality audits to ensure public funds are not being siphoned off.
