Cut the nonsense & offer Mumbai a chance August 04, 2005 By TVR Shenoy **********************
While I agree with what has been written by Mr. Shenoy, regarding lethary in responding by the administration, polititians, one must also agree to the fact that, every Tom dick and Harry runs to Mumbai, from all over the India. Nobody talks about the population inflow into the Mumbai, the infrastructure what it has got. Is it possible to accomodate such a crowd. The geological stucture of Mumbai. It is surroundes by water and can grow only in one direction NORTH. There is basic difference in Delhi and Mumbai. Delhi can grow in all directions. Hence you can plan in better way. In Mumbai space itself is a constrain as regards inflow of people, it is better not to count. The major difference for better quality of life in Delhi is ' MONEY EARNED FROM MUMBAI IS SPENT ON DELHI' We need to think on different lines. By shifting capitol a to somewhere else will not serve the purpose. The basic problem boils down to one thing - Public Inflow to the Mumbai. May be in wost case Govt. may have to issue permits for entrering Mumbai(???) Very difficult, but this only leads to problem.- Mohan
