Would Mumbai be a lost city
by Ajay on Aug 02, 2005 11:34 AM   Permalink

The political system has to align and nurture the ambitions of the town planners that seem to be lacking due to resentment that the situation is hopelessly un-repairable. That further exacerbates the efforts to carefully plan the infrastructure that is being overburdened by mass influx into the city. Our politicians were quick to change 'Bombay' the financial powerhouse to Mumbai (Land of goddess Mumba Devi). Now we owe it to the goddess to atleast make a constructive effort to develop an infrastructure to keep it clean without just appearing to do something by setting up committees and passing blame on each other. Lets get together and let the past monsoon lashes be the lesson for us to clean the land of goddess Mumba Devi, not by just maintaining slogans but collectivity acting together, hand in hand with the local government, the private sector and the NGO's and the people together to make it a community starting with basic early warning system and disaster recovery plans before it is too late. Everything is possible in Mumbai. Let us all make this dream come true that will make our children and our grand children proud of us and proud of Mumbai.
