Offer MUmbaikars a chance
by s subramanyan on Aug 04, 2005 06:34 PM

The suggestion to shift the caoital of Maharashtra to any other city is only a different version of the demand to make it a Union territory. The way this city had been administered in the last five decades -it is now inevitable that Mumbai be made a union territory.

State has delivered itself to the builders and corporates. South Mumbai gets all the plum projects neglecting north MUmbai. Bifurcate BMMC into two, south and north so that north Mumbai can fend for itself better.

Scuttle the McKenzie project which involves redeveloping Mumbai block-by- block.

Stop the sale of Mill lands and cancel those that are already done.

Discard the sea-bridge between Nava Sheva and Sewree and drop the Bandra-Worli seaway.

Decentralise government instituions and shift the Mantralaya to Navi Mumbai.

Rememeber the warning that the Institute of Oceanograph had given two years back, of the coastal cities sinking in about 3 decades. If we allow klousy adminsitratioin such as ours to continue the chances are that it may happen sooner.
