On record
A four-laning upgrade of a single-lane, 1997-built ADB-funded road was meant to widen ~30km within three years, but multiple stretches remain incomplete years past deadline, leaving dangerous half-finished sections that cause accidents.
The official record states: "Supervising engineer said "the contractor stopped the work unilaterally"; no firm new timeline given."
“Two hundred and fifty crore paid, thirty kilometres promised, and the finished stretches are the dangerous part.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Two hundred and fifty crore of the three hundred already paid, and the road switches from four lanes to one without warning.”
“Drove the Peddapuram stretch at night. The half-finished sections are more dangerous than the road they replaced.”
“The engineer's explanation is that the contractor stopped work unilaterally, which is also how the payments continued.”
