Rains- A Good Awakening
by Sachin Nair on Oct 28, 2005 09:44 AM   Permalink

Hi,
It is good in a way that it rained heavily in all major cities of India. I might sound sadist to some, but think it through, it is very much needed. It is simple, over the past say 10 to 15 or even 20 years none of our major cities have had any major infra investment. Take Mumbai,except for the 55 odd flyovers built in 5 yrs,there have been no major investments in transportation/drainage/water supply/electricity infrastructure. Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) according to field survey by World Bank is moving very slowly. Take a train journey from Dadar to Virar any time or Dadar to Kalyan, u ll know of the Betterment the mayors, CMs, PWD, BMC have made. Bangalore- Ooo la la. The flyover work near the dairy intersecting Bannerghatta road is going on since ages. Driving back home en route from Lal Baug made me cry due to diesel and petrol emissions. Mekhri Circle another night mare! Why even the Ulsoor road Cunningham Road every possible road is the same.Chennai- Wow The Mount Road Ride!! It seems like a major river wherein all the estuaries join in.Mambalam,Kodambakkam(the bridge at Kodambakkam is perenially jammed)Saidapet towards Guindy-Any axn will come aft a disaster
