I have lived in Mumbai for more than 16 years and now working abroad for last 6 years. During my stay of 16 years the situation was no different. Every year we used the face the same problem despite of tall claims from BMC and TMC. There is a sheer lack of will on part of government, municipal corporations, politicians and the beurocrats to improve the things. Thay care a dam for the people and the city. This situtaion gives them an opportunity to make money every year in the name of cleaning and road repairing etc. These are ills of democracy which we are so proud of.
I have been staying in Dubai and have witnessed a tremendous growth due to sheer will power and vision of rulers. I feel this system is better than having so called democracy in India. At least people are not made to face unnecessary hardships.
The roads here are made by same Indian engineers and labour and nothing happens to the road for years together and no repair is carried out since there is no damage despite of temperature reaching 50 degree plus in summer. How come same engineers are not able to make this kind of roads in India? I think it is not difficult to guess.
Unless those corrupt and illitrate politicians are removed and thrown in the arabian sea, the Mumbai will face these problems year after year.
