Mr. Deshmukh's typical response comes as no surprise. To simply say that everything humanly possible has been done is just passing off the blame squarely on to mother nature. The state administration had enough time between the previous monsoons and the current to sincerely chalk out a preliminary plan to avoid the chaos & confusion witnessed last year. They can't be so lousy and negligent in the work. Time and again mumbaikar's have to put up with the bureaucratic indifference. Instead of dreaming to convert mumbai a la shangai, plz try to provide basic amenities to the people. Media has been aptly pointing out the difference between south & the rest of mumbai's condition. Planning done ages ago is still as efficient as ever!
