Not just Mumbai, we need to look at every city in India. This mindless policy of urbanization is not going to take people anywhere. Its only going to give you slums, beggars, filth, overflowing drains, tap water with drain filth, foul air, submerged roads & drains. Until governments seriously put a cap on the nos of buildings to be allowed per square km, earmark sufficient road space, open space & park space, trees, life is going to be one hell for people. All these kind of overcrowded cities will only produce a few things - wealth in the hands of a few, filth for all, and a stressful way of life, suicides and diseases. God save our cities and our Govt. policies..!

India has already become a garbage dump. You see filth wherever our great populace has even 0.1% presence. With slack, or non-existant regulations, its only going to become worse. In the last 30 years I have seen beautiful places in India absolutely destroyed by junk, filth and garbage. People have zero civic sense, whether they are illiterate or Ph.Ds. Peeing, shitting, spitting, throwing all kinds of things everywhere. We are a nation of filthiest people on earth. I have been to even African countries struggling with poverty, but nowhere have I seen filth to this extent...

Yep Folks, we are a nation which cannot assure drinking water and sanitation to it's citizens, and calls itself the IT superpower. Sometimes, I feel ashamed to call myself Indian.

Can you assure that the bottled water is 100% pure and not contaminated with other water? Why pay 15 rupees when you cant guarantee that?
