The real problem of MUMBAI as well as that of the country is population boom, for which no one seems to b any longer bothered. In 1947 the combined population of India, Pakistan and B'desh was 33 crores. Now only our population is about 105 crores. Whereas the land and all other natural resources r same as before. They r limited. In addition to increase in population, the per capita fuel and power consumption is also increasing very fast. All this has caused vast degradation of natural resources. Water and air have got polluted. Sub soil water table has gone down everywhere. There was no bottled water 15 years ago, but due to pollution, bottled water is becoming a norm. Roads of all big and small towns r jammed with traffic. Forest land is getting depleted. Many plant and animals r getting extinct. Global warming is taking place.
The solution is forcefully enforcing one child norm on the lines of China. Had China not done so, there would have been a few crore more people on the earth.
Most of the religious leaders, Muslims, Christians, Hindus etc, foolishly ask people of their religion to have more children. It is catastophic. They should know that God and Nature do not distinguish on the basis of religion.
