RE:Col Dr.anil Athale Problem of Mumbai
by heramb gude on Mar 24, 2008 11:25 AM

Nobody has questioned the right to reside in Mumbai.But how much more influx of migrants can Mumbai take.Mumbai is an island city and can only expand vertically.The infrastructure of Mumbai is on the verge of collapsing.U r speaking about rights.When Mumbai was submerged in July-August 2005,was it not the duty of fellow Indians to help Mumbai and Maharashtra in its hour of need.Not one state bothered to extend a helping hand.A minister of Kerala offered help with the condition that the help would be restricted to Malayalee people.If this can be the narrow mindset of one state of India,is it wrong for Marathis to protest the invasion of Maharashtra by migrants from other states.Would you all UP/Biharis to muster a sizeable votebank and dream of handing over power to Laloo/Mulayam in your home state of Tamilnadu.Today Maharashtra and Assam are suffering.Tomorrow it will be the turn of other linguistic states as well.
