A little rain and this is where Mumbai find itself - completely drowned and at sea to deal with the situation. It is a pity that the economic and cultural nerve centre of this country drowns itself each and every time there is some rain. Everything goes wrong, the public transport, the traffic, the roads, there's water logging, drains overflow. The infrastructure is definitely not able to cope up. The state machinery, the BMC is not able to do anything either to prevent this from happening, or to ease the situation once it happens. All are interested in pushing things around till it happens again. Everybody is interested in short term measures to get short term benefits whether its the government, the BMC, the builders or the residents. Where are the development control rules, where is a conscious effort to come up with a long term mega solution. Every time Parel floods they say its because its a low lying area. Well cant you make it a high lying area by doing something big.

Those who are managing the country or mumbai are for us they are there to run politics as their business n every business's rule is to make profits so they do not have money for all these things, if they spend everything they get then how will they show profits in their personal balance sheet, its not possible unless someone who joins politics to make the country shine not their pockets, all rules are made to earn some extra perks its no new defination or enhancement in the system tis jus a source of new income that they come up with... all money is lying with them in their pockets...
