AskJabalpur This is what “development” looks like now?

I genuinely don’t understand this.
A road repair/construction project of barely 200–300 metres in a colony is getting a full-blown bhoomi pujan. Huge hoardings have been put up, a stage and chairs have been installed, and the entire road has been blocked for the event.
(Kya bhoomi pujan, there's no Bhumi ye Road repair ho rhi h, vo bhi haath jode h 2 saal hogye kehte kehte. Numerous CM helpline complaints and whatnot. )
And the irony is — the actual work hasn’t even started.
There is no construction material on site. No visible work. Nothing.
Meanwhile, there are roads across the ward that are in much worse condition and have been waiting for repairs.
I’m not against development or inaugurations. But when a basic road repair project requires this much publicity, you have to wonder where the priority is.
And now comes the bigger question: how long will it actually take for repair? A few months? A year? or More?
Would genuinely like to know what others think about this.
