We all agree BMC workers are lazy and corrupted and do not do their work on time... But look at their point of view... dont you think Mumbai public throw their garbage in open, throw plastic bags in gutter and thus there are choking problems... let us be good civilians and keep the city clean... we never see our faults... once BMC officer said correctly.. rich people take their pets for walk and make them shit anywhere and expects BMC workers to clean it and says mumbai is not clean... In foreign country like US which is very clean u wont even throw a piece of paper on road and in India u wont even think twice before throwing and blame officers that city is not clean...
Mumbai has the least problem due to heavy rains.. Even in rains Local trains keep on running.. We can expect few bandhs due to mother nature and u cannot expect that city will remain flood free even it has best drainage system.... There are scientific reasons too like High tide and low tide... Mumbai is handlng population more than its capacity so its wrong sometimes that we blame officials for all problem.. we too can trey to clean the city by following some basic guideline..

I certainly agree with u. If v have a little civic sense n help the BMC in doing their work a lot of problem can be solved. Its just tht v ppl know tht blame game like the politians. If u want to do something for ur future and ur children start doing it now and dont expect wht some one else can do for u. A famous man said "Think wht u can give the country not wht the country can give u" now do I need to say who said it? Mumbai pls have a little civic sense and it wil be a better place to live in.

I do somewhat agree with you and share my experience in London not a very clean city at that.
received in the post a letter stating that driver of so an so car spotted with throwing a cigarette out of the window now to face a fine of %uFFFD 2500 as per the law on littering and face prosecution or pay the fixed fee of %uFFFD 100 and lower of %uFFFD 50 if paid within 14 days. That I did throw and admit and paid %uFFFD50, lesson havind been learnt and would not do that again in my life at least now there would be one less cigarette thrown out of a car.
We need systems like this that work. We are the same people from good old Mumbai who live in London and correct ourselves only on account of a system which works. We are the people who have to make the systems and see that they work.
I can go on and on but this is what I say for the moment.
Rest is on who we vote for, the accountability of both poliyician and their work force etc etc....
