One of the interesting thing to note would be to see what the government does once the Mumbai rains recede and the media coverage reduces.I am sure many people are hoping that this time they would see something constructive happen, but unfortunately they are hoping against hope.
It might be considered an irony, but it is fact that inspite of India being one of those countries where natural disasters are so common, there is no Crisis Management team in either the central government or the state government. Every time a major crisis happens people think that it would open up the eyes of the concerned authorities. Unfortunately you cannot open an already open eye.
Mumbai rains is one of the rare occasions, think about the cyclones in Orrisa, every year thousands of people die, and the netas and government take pride in counting how many casualties were there in their regime than in their predecessors, not that they can try to rule out the casualties by proactiveness.
Even in the most corrupt and disturned nations of the world there is some unity and honesty in times of natural disasters, but in our country it is the time of year for when few people look toward making gains.
