It is always easier for the people to blame the Government for its inept handling during times of crisis of such magnitude. But, people must realize as to what is the real cause for such a tragedy to have occurred. If you can say it in one sentence, it is simply the fruits of unorganized and uneven development. Mumbai is the commercial hub of the Nation and it is where millions of Indians from all over the Country converge to find employment. But, this migration only adds to the misery of the already over populated City with all its disastrous consequences. Naturally, all those people who migrated need shelter for their safety, but the City is never growing in space. As a result even river banks are being converted to plots and are sold to the people. The result, water has no place to go when heavy rains pelt the City. In the selling of these plots, some local level politicians also play their part by distributing illegal pattas.The ever growing slums also adds to the problem and water is being obstructed in every corner of the road restricting the free flow into the drains. That is why water clogging has posed a very big problem this time around with the record rains
