“recently suspended seven engineers for the faulty design of a 200 million rupee ($2.3 million) bridge with a 90-degree turn.” If I took that train, where the heck am I going back to?

The article doesn’t make it very clear that it is an auto bridge over railroad tracks. Marginally functional, but traffic will have to slow to a crawl to make the turn, especially when there is traffic both ways.

It also sounds as if the engineers wanted to do something better, but the government refused to buy the necessary land.
