Re: Let the government act!

Hi ,



Things that should change in Mumbai in particular & everywhere in India in general:



1. Accountability of the city's administrative services

2. Citizens to have long term memory & pursue things that are prominsed to them during election times

3. Kick that 'Chaltha hai' (indifferent) attitude out forever

4. Build & reinforce the city's drainage systems (complete overhaul) before laying a single brick for new building constructions

5. Revamp the urban planning commision with people having knowledge behind the science

6. Encourage mass transit system & discourage individual auto owners & drivers

7. Have individual area governments (like Mayor of Dadar, Thane etc) for better management of resources

8. Have mock disaster drills which is a norm in most developed nation's cities

9. Impose heavy fines for violators of city rules ( in construction, garbage disposal, littering etc)

10. Rehabilitate slum dwellers who have been most affected due to the rains & also the ones who have been forcefully evacuated with some 'Shangai' dreams!

11. Maintain & be proud of our city's IDENTITY! Let others emulate us, not the other way around



Jai Hind
