Fans Used to Dry Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway Damage, Sparks Public Outrage

A contractor resorted to using electric fans to dry damaged sections of the newly inaugurated Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway, a project worth Rs 4,200 crore. The unconventional method was adopted after heavy rainfall disrupted ongoing repair work on the road. Images of the fans in use spread widely on social media, inviting widespread mockery and criticism from the public. The damaged stretch has been causing notable traffic congestion and delays for daily commuters. Authorities have held the contractor accountable, ordering them to bear the full cost of repairs.
