Recently, a newly constructed clock tower in a small town in Bihar has gone viral on social media — not for its beauty or precision, but for becoming the latest target of trolls and memes. From Twitter to Instagram, people are asking: “Is this a clock tower or a time-travel device gone wrong?”
What’s the story?
The clock tower was unveiled as part of a local development initiative, with a grand inauguration by a local politician. However, within hours of its photos surfacing online, netizens had a field day pointing out its “unique” design and structure. Some said it looks like a missile, others compared it to a science project gone rogue.
Social Media Reactions
Here’s what some users posted:
“When Bihar said they want Big Ben at home…”
“This tower tells time and takes you back to 1980.”
“Clock is optional, comedy is guaranteed.”
Memes aside, the structure has drawn serious criticism as well. Many are questioning the budget used, the aesthetics, and even the necessity of such a construction.
Who built it?
According to local sources, the project was commissioned by the Municipal Council, and executed by a regional contractor. While no official statement has been made yet about the viral backlash, some reports suggest that the design was “inspired by local heritage with a modern twist.”
Trolls vs. Intentions
While it’s easy to laugh at the memes, some voices on social media are urging people to look at the intention behind the project — to beautify and modernize public spaces. Unfortunately, the execution has clearly missed the mark, at least in the eyes of the internet.
Final Thoughts
The viral clock tower in Bihar is a classic example of how public projects and internet humor can collide in the most unexpected ways. Whether it becomes a laughingstock or a landmark — only time will tell. But for now, it’s safe to say that this clock tower isn’t just telling time — it’s making headlines.
