Everybody in Mumbai responsible for the tragedy.
by Jayaprakash Balan on Aug 02, 2005 04:59 PM   Permalink

For all that has happened in Mumbai in the past few weeks was the responsibility of each and every Mumbaite and we can in no way escape the blame by putting the onus of Govt., Civic bodies, Infrastructure, Population, Slums etc.



Though the major share of responsibility lies on Govt. and Civic bodies, what are we as people of Mumbai doing. Just spitting, throwing garbage anywhere, constructing buildings, slums anywhere without any rules, not growing trees and destroying whatever greenery is available.



Its a true fact that however advance human beings become with all technologies we can never fight nature or escape its rath. But the best we can do is minimise the tragedy of loss of life and property.



Govt. should see that construction activity is done in a proper way especially of buildings, check growth of slums, Civic bodies should see that drainage is absolute clear and no accummulation of garbage anywhere. They have to train and make the slum people responsible to keep the surroundings neat and clean. People on their part too have to do thier bit by keeping their surroundings clean, throwing garbage in a proper place, water harvesting etc.
