Yes, i agree to an extent that Government should not be hold responsible as it was a seudden natural calamity. Infact it happened all of a sudden that there was no time to act upon it.
But, atleast some actions, like inflatable boats could have been arranged via Air by the Govt. Indian Govt is not so poor afterall, is it?
Now for peoples mistake, apart from leving offices to get to thier homes (anybody will make that mistae...human nature), i was very much hurt when i saw the Cattles/ buffaloes dead on the road. Agree, people from the dairy got nervous during the rain, but they could have opened the rope knots from the cattles, as soon as when they saw that water level has increased.
Was very moved by the spirit of mumbai when i saw the sight, the next morning, people were walking together, helping each other, some vehicles offering lift, and much more.
Come what may, the fact is Mumbai can only be at its Best all the time.
Anyways, what has happened should not be repeated, I pray to God for it. Also, the Govt is well prepared (god forbid) if it hapens again.
