I think we really need to demarket mumbai for next few years and this calamity will defiantely help the cause.
I really do not find Mumbai being State capital of maharahtra. It can be shifted to some city like aurangabad which is at the middle of maharashtra.
It will reduce the 20-25% load from mumbai as most of political establishment is in south mumbai which means 20-25 % of tarffic which comes to mumbai and goes out is not at all related to mumbai.
Secondly Mumbai can go for a over bridge train service which is at present operating in Chennai.It will solve the problem of railways.
On a lighter side
Maharashtra Govt can appoint two cabinet ministers
1. Minister of UP
2. Minister of Bihar
both of them will look after employment and infrastructure issues in respective states. It will help to reduce the inflow to mumbai.
The cause of mumbai problem lies in non developement of rest of India. and not in Mumbai
Adminstartion in mumbai is one of the best in the world.
Cause is not Vilasrao or Mayor of Mumbai but it is Laloo and Mulayam.
