Mumbai - Overloaded..
So atleast now Mumbai should understand that their infrastructure is not as good as the people there. The Rain gods in one day have created havoc, think of this huge city near the sea when something like Tsunami occurs. Also being a finanacial capital it is more a target for all Terrorists.
If a blast like the one went in London had happened in this city then the damages would have been umpteen times bigger than that of London. London has an risk plan in place for the entire city including Tubes/Transport/Power/Communication, so everything was up and running the very next day. Now what is the same for Mumbai?? BBC is ridiculing that Mumbai people are themselves searching for dead bodies and carcasses with bare hands.
I even read an article about the infrastructure haphazzards of Mumbai and how it is not fit for being Financial capital anymore. International norms specified for a financial capital is not even partly met by Mumbai.
And in UK they have set upa Toll free to know the status updates for the britishers living in Egypt(for the recent bomb blast), whereas those who are stranded were not able to reach their families through any means in Mumbai. Yeah it is understood that these guys are able to do that becaus eof the(our) money they have, but it doesnt mean that we should not try something like that.

Though money is one of the reasons it isn't the only reason.Accountability and empathy needs to seep into the bureaucracy ...
