The problem of Mumbai is present even in Kolkatta, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, etc.
This influx of outsiders from the city, and state beyond certain limits is going to be a huge strain on civic infrastructure.
THE CITIES ARE DYING. THE STATES MUST DEVELOP THEIR REGIONAL CENTRES, BUILD INFRASTRUCTURE AND REVERSE THE FLOW BACK TO THE NATIVE LOCATIONS.
THERE SHOULD BE NO PERMISSION FOR ANY MORE OFFICE, FACTORY, within the BIG CITIES. THE GOVERNMENT MUST CONSCIOUSLY MOVE THE HEADQUARTERS OF SOME OF THEIR DEPARTMENTS TO OTHER CITIES.

fully agree. instead of just blaming the local frustrated maharastrians, bangaloreans, the leaders of the big states UP and bihar in particular should develop infrastructure and create job opportunities in theie states so that the poor do not wander here and there for their livelihood. India is for all indians but the states should also so something worthwhile. The autonomy the states demand should not be one sided. What is the contribution of the socalled powerful netas from north except hollow slogans and false promises to their people. why cant they emulate south indiann politicians such as s m krishna who gave bangalore the beautiful flyovers and roads. The northern politicians know just to bask in some one elses glory. Bangalore is also going the mumbai way. Bangaloreans are facing the same problems now which mumbai has been facing for the past 20 years. We appreciate the concerns of the north indian people but each state is responsible for contributing to the economic prosperity of their regions.

THE PROBLEM OF KRISHNA WAS TOO MUCH FOCUS ON BANGALORE. HE NEGLECTED OTHER DISTRICT CENTRES, AND CONGRESS LOST BADLY IN THAT ELECTION.
THE INFRASTURCUTRE IS KEY - ROADS, TELECOM NETWORK, ELECTRICITY AND WATER. INDUSTRY MUST BE SHUNTED AWAY TO SUCH DISTRICT CENTRES SO THAT THERE IS MORE DEVELOPMENT.
DEHRADUN IS COMING UP SO WELL, DUE TO SUCH POLICIES. WE NEED TO SEE MANY MORE IN ALL STATES.

This is the fault of that city. Ask the local not to rent the house to outsiders. They will automaticlly move out of the city. Make sense buddy. You rent ur house to outsiders and get huge rent from them and feed ur kith and kin out of that money, ur business gorows out of their pocket and then one fine day u start targetting them. This is called back stabbing.

I disagree. The solution is not as simple as not renting a house.
IT IS PURELY BECAUSE OF CONCENTRATION OF OPPORTUNITIES IN CERTAIN CITIES. MOST OF THE DISTRICT CENTRES DO NOT OFFER BETTER CAREER OPTIONS FOR THOSE IN SERVICE. NOT ALL CAN BE IN BUSINESS, NOT ALL CAN BE DOCTORS, TAILORS, TEACHERS, ETC, IN SMALL TOWNS. THE ABILITY TO ABSORB THEM AND PROVIDE FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIMITED. AND, THEN, MANY DO NOT WISH TO GO TO RURAL PARTS TO SERVE - PURELY LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE AND LOW EARNING POTENTIAL.
