That was exactly my point, Murli... I never spoke about it from a Mumbaikar spirit point of view... Neither have I ever mentioned anywhere that I have anything against the immigrants... Its a cut and dry practical situation... Previously, Mumbai could accomodate n number of people... It could still support the zillions coming everyday if the govt and the municipality kept pace with the growing infrastructural demands of Mumbai and kept the demand-supply of amenities in check... But now demand has far exceeded supply... and some drastic measures have to be taken to repair it... Tell me, how many new drainways have been made after the British left? Howmany new railway tracks have been laid in the recent years? If work had started a long way back,we definitely would have been in a position to counter these problems today... But is it going to be easy to rectify these problems without a check on the population? Would like to repeat the bad example I had given for Mr. Datta... When there is a major plumbing problem, you first stop the water supply... repair the line, then re-open it... That's the simplest I can put my point across...
