I know people are going to get their daggers out on the BMC. They are culpable ofcourse. But who is to be blamed for lack of proper foresight and co-ordination? In every state and city, this is the problem. After British left India, we have not built a single city till date....just renamed a few. Jamshedpur may be a rare example. Construction companies flouting norms, politicians granting priviliges to construction mafia in forested area. Illegal quarrying...all of this has resulted in the deaths and destruction. We should start developing the corridors outside of each city and buid world class transportation to stop this growing crowding up of cities and crumbling resources. As long as India fails to be strategic, we will conveniently blame natural causes and not take ownership for issues.
