if there is a will there is a way
by Ashok Gupta on Jul 03, 2007 01:30 PM

The water logging in cities particularly Mumbai is an annual feature and expected. The problem can be solved provided there is a will by the Govt. which is lacking. The Govt.prefers that the city comes to a standstill with people losing their lives and spread of epidemic and crores of business loss rather than find a solution to this recurring problem.
We read that huge amounts of money has been spent on clearing and revamping the drainage system but its the same story year in and year out with the govt.blaming everybody except themeselves. Un-precended construction has also further addeded to this problem - but then the govt.gives sanction to the plans,they are responsible for the drainange and sanitation and this is their pathetioc showing. Where has all that money gone ????? High time Mumbai people too accountability from the govt.and municipality who go underground. Shameful.
