I agree with Jagat and others when they say stop blaming and learn from the incidents of last week.
1. I hope the government can now speed up its slum rehab plan. Can we check with Ms Medha Patkar now...She championed for slums and now what? Most of the severly affected areas are slums.
2. Can people staying at SakiNaka complain...Most of them are living in unauthorised colonies and have bribed their way to live there. You reap what you sow.
3. Do people in gerenal have any sense for a clean surrounding. Mumbai is an amazing city...People will carry a 5 kg office bag but cant carry the weiht of a bus ticket...they throw it on the road as soon as they leave the bus.
4. BMC should be taken to courts for its claims this year. Suggestion - cleaning of drains should be the responsibility of Mohalla committees with BMC being the specialist or the labour provider. Once the area is cleaned, the BMC team should take signatures from local residents.
5. Slums near the Airport are a danger anyway. Where is Kripa Shanker Singh now...was he able to stop the airport wall from comign down. Its appalling to note that today we can see the runway fromt the road.
