Jamshedpur-Ranchi expressway.

Just to give a local context, this is a normal 4 lane highway getting built from 2011 i guess or even earlier. It is not an expressway by any means. But yes, it is very well constructed no doubts about that. There were talks of an expressway, but in Jharkhand talks remain talks.

And by this let me also bring to focus, the lethal and dangerous Political parties which are ruling this state. Jamshedpur is a city having 13.3 lakh population in 2011 , at present probably 16 lakh +, no airport till date. State govt earlier of BJP tried but they couldn't start work on time, hence the ruling party of India alliance fully stalled the Project showing weird reasons.

There is literally no developmental works in the state for last many years. Current party has openly said We do not like Big Industries coming and exploiting our resources. In short lets keep the state poor. Unfortunately the earlier BJP CM was also worst at best, but the present party has taken this to another level. Literally nothing happens in the state. Only news of weird schemes like old pension scheme, old age pension, air ambulance (BS).

By this I bring in front of you the perils of choosing INDIA alliance parties and there vested interest to keep state and it's citizens poor for their own good.

Infrastructure Revolution: Fuelling India's Economic Growth towards 2047
By building sustainable and modern infrastructure that can match that of any developed country, particularly through advanced transportation networks, including roads, railways, ports, and airports, India intends to accomplish the overall goal of over 8% growth, in future.
Already there are 12 major ports and over 200 non-major ports in the country, along the 7,500-km long coastline. Vadhavan Port in Maharashtra, which is under construction, would be the 13th major port in India

You would think they would not put a picture of a collapsed bridge to say this

That's common sense off course.

A collapsed bridge calls for investigation and rectification of loopholes in system in those parts of country than making nonsensical online arguments like baboons.

Obviously, not building infrastructure isn't a solution.

Delhi NCR wallahs will be happy with this channel.

This video should actually be a insult for all 1.4 billion indians and should result in mass ly*nching of our local government babus/mlas. It shows that they are able to build basic consistent infrastructure, but choose not to. The lane markings, signages, road land width and surface etc are all consistent and likely meet IRC specifications. The roads look very clean as there is no rubbish or dust on the side of the road. So why cant they actually do this for the rest of the country/city?

Yes, the local governments can do a lot more to keep the cities clean. But there is nothing anybody can do if "people" are not responsible. I have seen in Bengaluru where on one side the cleaning crew will be pretending to be cleaning. At the same time, people will be throwing away trash on the street, even though there were trash cans were 20 steps away. I have seen people rolling down their car windows and trashing their own streets. I have seen video where foreigners carrying the trash in their hands and locals advising them to throw it on the street. They even laugh at foreigners carrying trash in their hands.

Even Modi couldn't bring the cleanliness mindset to the society.

Not at all, all areas except the downtown are getting shittier day by day.
We will be needing a dedicated centrally funded project to fix urban infra on the lines of Swacch Bharat or Namami Gange. States/local corporations just cannot do it. It was a mistake to decentralize governance anyway; European ideas at income level marginally higher than that of Korea did not make any sense back then and does not make any sense even now - we are now spending vauable resources to bypass them (case in point PMGSY, PMAY, Namami Gange etc) . Smart City missions are being allocated higher amounts progressively but still peanuts compared to NIP.

No denying Indians are one of the filthiest race currently for the reasons you mentioned, but what you said just sounds like excuses. Its the same nonsense Indian leftists/congressis were claiming before 2014 - that streetshitting in india is cultural etc etc. Cities wont turn into Japan overnight, but if Indian cities invested in garbage disposal and incineration systems and employed a sizable workforce of street sweepers using mechanized garbage trucks and cleaners + employing maybe street justice with danda against those caught littering, our cities will look much cleaner and presentable in 1 year. It is pathetic how filthy indian cities look compared to other cities worldwide with the same GDP per capita.

Wow Budapest seems to be going reverse gear in modern architecture. And it's beautiful.

We are doing something similar with our temple Corridors like Kashi, Vindhyachal, Ujjain etc.

It's about time we implement such projects for our cities as well. Will be good for North Indian cities that are going with horizontal growth. Not so much for places like Mumbai thought.

This is because keeping roads and footpaths clean and up to standards requires machines in a large way. Footpaths need to be constructed with machines and not with masons like it is done now. All that takes fuel and money. also, in many Delhi areas, streets are so narrow that no cleaning machine can get in there. the density: Unauthorized colonies have led to massive overpopulation with the shittiest infra in these areas. Also, there is a lot of construction in Delhi and construction dust is everywhere. Too much mud on the streets, even on expressways. As Delhi finishes all its construction, dust and mud on streets should decrease.
But generally in most cities of the world, only certain parts are kept really clean - tourist areas, wealthy neighborhoods, government areas etc. Poor neighborhoods in all cities are always dirty.
