Maharashtra is struck with Drought
by bhaskar on Apr 16, 2016 11:11 AM

Because all IPL matches from previous years have consumed the water meant for village poor currently hit by drought.
I hope CM will limit using water and drain away entire mumbai sewage drains to the villages to rejuvinate all of villages land .

Even Reliance is drought hit
by bhaskar on Apr 16, 2016 11:02 AM

Look at Mukesh Ambani's son.. the immediate victim of drought like conditions .
The bollywood celebrities should set an example by reducing their food and water intake and all the gyms across maharashtra should be closed and people asked to carry water to remotest places. The entire advocates clan should send their dresses and come to the office only in their underwears and litter using papers

why IPL is single out ?
by kiran on Apr 16, 2016 09:13 AM  | Hide replies

Even though i am a great fan of Dravid. I am not with him. IPL is a money making machine and Mumbai cricket association is also a big money making association. If possible let all the associations help the drought hit places let associations and BCCI (the richest body in the universe) do something for the poor and some social work Then it would be far better. These people have not contributed anything to the society.

Dravid is supposed to be one of the sanest in Indian cricket unlike Gavaskar who has minted crores in delivering commentary usually erroneous.IPL has been creating more of nuisance and building an army of cricket czars who are completely out of tune with the people of India.Besides,cricket is hardly played elsewhere in the world.There is absolutely no harm if IPL is done away with.

Water and ICL
by Raman Krishnaswamy on Apr 15, 2016 06:34 PM

The comments of Dravid and Gavaskar is compltely unhumanitarian. Good they stopped of saying "let all the draught affected people of Maharashtra come to Mumbai and watch ICL matches to refresh themselves"

Is BCCI Water Supply Department ????
by Vinay Malik on Apr 15, 2016 03:56 PM  | Hide replies

This happen every year and it is really a serious that so many people are dying because of shortage of water, so point of discussion should be how to supply water to these drought affected areas. Why people in government, opposition and other department including BCCI and Courts are not thinking about how to solve this problem. What water supplying department of Maharashtra are doing, why there is no comment from them?

Drought V/s IPL.
by Kersie Madon on Apr 15, 2016 03:41 PM  | Hide replies

Gavasker & Dravid's comments should be viewed as contempt of court. Whatever they wished to say, they should have said in court & not in media. How can you play cricket when there is severe shortage of water? Would you play cricket if country was at war? IPL fans must appreciate that there is a severe water shortage this year. Not just IPL must every citizen must curtail their water consumption to save every drop of water which will benefit us tomorrow. Govt must also take long term measures to increase storing capacity of water.
