The government in mumbai is not at all taking care of the mumbai citizens, they should have planned for this disaster last year itself but the politicians are just enjoying the rains by sitting in five star comforts, why to close schools ,just because the inablity of the government that it cannot arrange proper facilities so as to safe gaurd the small kids,the goverment should have planned to declare the reopening of schools from august 15th onwards, no planning by governemnt, they should have cleaned the nallas, stopped illegel encroachment good pumps at different places to remove the water, short term recruitment of personnals to save the persons and place them at startegic places, good communication facilities, all these could have been done if had been Mumbai been ruled by the government of Mumbai, not by the government of Maharashtra, it is high time that mumbai and pune should be separated from Maharashtra and be ruled as one more Marathi state which will safe gaurd the population of Mumbai and Pune and develop in world class cities

It looks like everytime something goes wrong and its government's fault. What about encrochments happening .. How many of you who are blaming goverment really check whether you or your house owner has not done illegal construction . There are 350 + people coming for other than maharashtra everyday .. half of them are getting absorbed into slums where they illegally staying on railway space, sewage canals and encroching every bit of land leaving no space for even rain water to pass .. Looks like we have to have under ground tunnels specifically done for rain water .. This is grave situation and everybody is equally guilty .. Stop land encrochment, illegal constructions, don't buy or rent it, this will certainly lead to better Mumbai !!
