00:00Okay, let's turn to tonight's Get Real India story which comes from the suburb of Dombevli near Thane district of Maharashtra.
00:08Now the flyover here called the Pallava flyover was built to ease traffic between Navi, Mumbai, Kalyan and Thane.
00:15All very very populated, densely populated suburbs of Mumbai.
00:20Guess what? It's turned into a full-blown fiasco.
00:23Seven years in the making, inaugurated in the month of July, shut the very same day, reopened only to be shut once again.
00:34Why? Get Real India. Take a look.
00:41Mumbai's Pallava flyover was meant to be a lifeline, part of an ambitious plan to decongest the ever-choked Dombevli stretch.
00:49Built by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation, the 562-metre-long bridge was inaugurated on the 4th of July this year.
00:58But within hours of being opened, motorists began to skid.
01:02The freshly laid surface was too smooth.
01:04The flyover had to be shut down the very same day.
01:07A day later, sand was sprinkled to increase friction and the bridge was reopened.
01:12But the woes of the public were far from over.
01:15Within just a week, the newly built flyover was riddled with potholes.
01:18By the third week of September, the bridge became a nightmare for commuters.
01:45Repeated patchwork attempts failed to fix the damage.
01:48Finally, the MSRDC had no choice but the shutter bridge again,
01:52this time completely stripping off the entire asphalt layer and relaying it from scratch.
01:57Even today, parts of the bridge remain closed as resurfing work continues.
02:01Local leaders now want accountability and a technical investigation into how a bridge built over seven years began to crumble.
02:30in literally seven days.
02:33The Pallava debacle has once again raised big questions over public infrastructure and accountability in Maharashtra.
02:53The Maharashtra government still hasn't responded to that story as and when they respond, we'll have their reaction as well.
03:08Let's turn to our good news today's story.
03:10From there, it comes from Chhattisgarh's Durg, where a group of college students are turning rust into art.
03:17At a unique workshop, what began as scrap metal is taking the shape of something far more meaningful.
03:24Take a look at good news today.
03:26This classroom in Chhattisgarh's Durg government college is buzzing with the sound of hammering metal and blazing furnaces.
03:45At VY Tamskar PG College, a 10-day Baster iron craft workshop is turning waste into wonders.
03:54Under New Education Policy 2020's skill-based learning initiative, over 45 students from the History Department are learning the intricate art of tribal iron sculpture using scrap.
04:07Under the guidance of master craftsmen,
04:36from Baster's Kondagao and Kanta, students have sculpted tribal figures, drummers, archers and many others.
04:45By just using simple tools like hammers, chisels and of course, raw creativity.
04:53The workshop isn't just about art.
04:56It's a step towards preserving Baster's indigenous craft and promoting eco-conscious thinking.
05:02And these art pieces will be used as mementos in the college event.
05:07Baster's Kondagao has a place where there is now been built,
05:10and has been a place where the food is located.
05:14In this town is a place where the visitors are still and the buildings are still in the center.
