Why are roads in Indian cities dug up over and over again—often just weeks after being freshly paved?

From Bengaluru to Mumbai, Panaji to Patna, the problem isn’t just potholes or poor construction. It’s deeper. In this episode of FinshotsTV, we investigate the real reasons behind India’s never-ending roadwork: colonial-era laws, overlapping authorities, zero accountability, and an incentive system that rewards building—not maintaining—roads.

We’ll break down:
• How the Indian Telegraph Act of 1885 still lets utility companies dig without oversight
• Why no one actually “owns” the road
• How cost-cutting contracts and poor planning are creating massive losses and public health hazards
• And what some states are doing right to fix this mess

If you’ve ever cursed at a barricade on your morning commute, this one’s for you.
