The alarming condition of a national highway that goes through Bihar's Madhubani has been laid bare in an aerial video.
India has seen many a road with more potholes than tarmac, but pictures of giant craters that cover the full width of a national highway for as long as the eye can see are still a rare phenomenon.
The alarming condition of National Highway 227 that goes through Bihar's Madhubani has been laid bare in an aerial video shot by road Praveen Thakur of Dainik Bhaskar newspaper.
The road, straight out of the obstacle race game show Takeshi's Castle, also evoked a reaction from political strategist Prashant Kishor, a frequent critic of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
"Reminiscent of the condition of roads in Bihar in the Jungle Raj of the 90s, this is National Highway 227 (L) of Madhubani district of Bihar. Recently, Nitish Kumar ji was speaking to the people of the road construction department at an event that they should tell everyone about the good condition of roads in Bihar," he tweeted in Hindi.
