I have spent my entire childhood in mumbai. During those times there were a lot of trees and i could see gardens and open spaces. I could see far of building from my terrace. But now there are so many new building constructed and high rise building. There is no way that the water can seep underground. As as result the water from the higher areas just flows to the low lying areas and thus causes flooding. It is we the people who have created this havoc. If we have planned constructions and open spaces this problem would have been minimal as it is made to be alarming now. We have no consideration for the environment. Just cut trees and build new concrete jungles. The heat from all these constructions causes a low pressure leading to heavy rain. Its all we who got to take the blame. Just pointing fingers at others cannot happen. Lets try to solve the problem

You mean that your flat was constructed without cutting the trees? This is typical indian mentality.When you need flat no problems & when it is the turn of others people like u have more problem.

You have to correct yourself that it is the corrupt municipal corporation to blame who give NOC for building of structures without any upgradation to the drainage infrastructure.
