On record
A newly built bus stand in Chitrakonda developed large, visible fractures in its concrete flooring before it was even inaugurated, alarming local residents who feared the damage would worsen once buses and heavy vehicles began regular use. Contractors responded by applying a pitch layer over the cracked concrete, which residents dismissed as cosmetic patching rather than a genuine structural fix, and demanded a full technical investigation and accountability before the facility opens to the public.
The official record states: "Not specified: no official statement was released by the bus stand authorities or district administration despite the public outcry over construction quality."
