Sounds about right. I work with quite a few in the oil and gas industry

They would need to put pillars on land they don't own.
Instead of just buying the land, they went with the most mentally retarded compromise instead, and will now have to buy the land anyway, demolish this garbage, and rebuild it all.
Truly an enlightened high IQ people!
The new Rail Over Bridge in Bhopal was announced 10 years ago and cost the state of Madhya Pradesh over 200 million rupees to complete. It was supposed to improve connectivity between Mahamai Ka Bagh, Pushpa Nagar, and the station area with New Bhopal, but all it has managed to do so far is spark controversy over a major blunder in its design – a nearly 90-degree turn built into the bridge. Photos of the questionable feature recently went viral on Indian social media, raising concerns over safety and how engineers could have overlooked such a critical error.
After the controversial bridge started training on X (Twitter), Chief Minister Mohan Yadav launched an inquiry into the situation and subsequently announced the suspension of seven engineers involved in its design, as well as another inquiry into the activity of a retired superintendent engineer in connection with the faulty design.
“Seven engineers, including two chief engineers, have been suspended with immediate effect. A departmental inquiry will be conducted against a retired sub-engineer. Both the construction agency and the design consultant have been blacklisted for submitting faulty design of the ROB,” Yadav said.
