Please stop creating sensation and panic among people of Mumbai. A rainfall of mere 32 mm in three hours between 0230 hrs and 0530 hours in early July is hardly severe rainfall for MUMBAI.
It is hightime the news media behaved in a responsible manner and stopped creating sensation with news not worthy of reporting.

Bombay used to be the best place to be in during the monsoons , however now with rampant construction, conversion of lakes into high rises, cutting down of trees, lakhs of villagers rushing into Bombay every year & illegal encroachment on drainage systems ..... now even if a dog pisses , the city gets flooded. Plus all the taxes paid by the Bombaywalas goes to building new roads in Delhi ..... Thanks to the UPA.

Absolutely correct. I think we should all stop paying all municipal taxes. do not pay a single naya paisa to the govt.. Instead contribute the same money to the Local Arear Fund and manage and maintain the locality ourselves...If all of us do this ..we can guarantee a better place for all.
