this is what happens when the govt is ineffective, when there is no control over the no of people staying in a city and when no harsh steps are taken so as not to disturb the vote bank

It looks like these communists are more interstd on killing the poor innocent people in Nandhi than providing better infrastructure.
Every year, the average rainfall in Mumbai is 4-5x that of Kolkata. Please understand this, there is no comparision. Period. The rainfall in Mumbai is bigger than that of ALL SEVEN CITIES PUT TOGETHER.
I REPEAT, THE NEXT SEVEN CITIES PUT TOGETHER!!
So, before rushing to condemn-please understand how the scale of rainfall is vastly more and therefore the challenges are far greater.
You cannot Mumbai's rainfall with that of any other city, becuase the rainfall is far far greater. Incomparably so. Therefore there is no comparision.
Hence, Mumbai floods are there because the rainfall itself is much bigger.
