I am on a official visit to Mumbai. It took 1 hour to travel 5 Kms in Autorickshaw from Andheri ( EAST ) to Andheri ( WEST). Totally the area is water logged and people are standing on middle of roads to save themselves .
What a pathetic situation?. It seems we lack proper planning of drainage systems & transportation systems to the exponential population growth in the cities. Good civic policies are the need of the hour.
Even after so many experiences why the policy makers are not considering public woes?

Dont blame the rains for that. on a normal day also it takes 1 hour from Andheri West to East. The traffic there is pathetic even worse than Bangalore even though i must admit that mumbai people have a better traffic sense.

the policy makers are behind writing the letters in Marathi, they spend one full day to type one page which no one understands, hence the gutters are not cleaned.

Mr. Bhupendra,
you seem to be a perfect example of outsider. You are surely not a maharashtrain / mumbaikar. If you do not understand marathi then better shut up & pray that the big money that you are earning from Mumbai continues or else somebody may throw you also out of mumbai. as far as typing marathi is considered, it might take a year for you to do since you are the person who does not understand marathi. I have a suggestion, The policy that you cannot read in marathi, ask some of your marathi friends (if you have) to read it out for you.
Coming to the main point that gutters are not cleaned, you have right to ask but you have no right to even try to insult a language specially the one of the state that is your bread earner.
