Mumbai Has Reached Saturation Point
by Aadi Manav on Jul 01, 2008 02:49 PM

Friends,its not at all raining that heavily in Mumbai as I used to see it in my childhood. It used to rain contineously for 6-8 days with no let up in the rainfall. Even then Mumbai was not at halt thanks to the Brish built drainage system and roads. However after the 80s when Mumbai really started expanding as people from all over India came to Mumbai in search of employment,career & life naurally Mumbai's infrastructure collapsed like anything.
Now its far from being recoverd. No open space so that water would get dripped inside.The gutters and nallahs are encroached by the migrants & slum dwellers staying illegally.Mumbai is overpoulated ,over crowded and thats the reason why its collapsing as you cannot cater facilities to each and every person across this ovdensly populated city.
Mumbai is and will be dying gradually.No infrastructre would save it.On its western coast,the tidal waves are playing havoc. The water bashes not only the bay but the surrounding buildings upto 2nd floor as Mumbai is crunched to its seashore by the constructions. Its an invasion by human being onto nature. Now its Nature's time to payback.
Lastly, GOD always forgive
Man forgives sometimes
Nature never forgive.
