No safety measures or upgradation will help Mumbaikars or give relief for Mumbai travellers as long as BMC doesn't stop overcrowding places with commercial complexes and big towers. All the measures will just be temporary with no big relief for travellers. Even 15 car coach is not making life easier and comfortable. Only solution is put a complete full stop on new construction of commercial complexes and new residential towers and let them come up in distant areas like Virar, Palghar, Kalyan, Karjat, Kasara, Panvel, Pen and even beyond and then think of interconnecting and developing roads and rail to these locations and these areas. Even redevelopment of old buildings should not add more floors than existing ones. Towers only block air circulation and put heavy load on existing infrastructure. Let people move far off than paying high rentals in crowded places. With internet and wifi people can work from anywhere and be connected. Else even after 50 years the story of Mumbai local travel will remain the same for people.
This is my India... oh my India... YOU wake up when any incident happens... it seems that the politicans, officers of railways are sleeping like kumbkaran and wake up and pass resolutions measures etc. when any incident happens... CANT POLITICANS, GOVERNMENT MACHINERY OF INDIA, OFFICERS INCHARGE THINK OF PREVENTIVE MEASURES IN ALL FIELDS.... WHY common man should suffer... If they are incapable they should appoint youngsters to sell their ideas to government for safety measures of people in all spheres. GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE READY TO ADOPT MEASURES IN ALL FIELDS TO PREVENT ANY SITUATION BE IT TRANSPORT, EDUCATION, SAFETY, HEALTH, IT SECTOR, ROADS, FLOODS, ETC. IF GOVERNMENT NEEDS IDEAS I WILL GIVE THEM.
