I dread opening factory WhatsApp group. Absolutely pathetic power situation. One of India’s largest industrial town struggling with power everyday. After 75 years and every possible government. All the dreams of Vikshit bharat will remain just that.
As a journalist, I’ve tracked Mumbai’s civic infrastructure projects for over a decade now. Time and again, major bridges and flyovers have been inaugurated only to be followed by controversy: Hancock bridge in 2022, Gokhale bridge in 2024, Ghatkopar Mankhurd Link Road in 2021, Vikrohli ROB in 2025.
For instance, Gokhale Bridge in Andheri, where a misalignment with its connector delayed full functionality. Now, it’s the newly opened Mrinaltai Gore flyover extension. Often I have my readers asking me: where is the problem?
Is it inadequate supervision? Poor oversight? Weak quality control? Or the rush to meet inauguration deadlines?

@Aaravkumar20 I keep saying. It doesnt matter if they dont believe in physical violence. They still abuse power/wealth/influence and use it for extortion that brings it closer to violence of a different kind
Navi mumbai and thane headed to same direction.
NMMC has already planned to build a new reservoir by drowning a few villages. MCGM (BMC) also have just announced. TMC(Thane) is waiting for .... ? Who knows. No idea about vasai-virar.
Even if there isn't a single drop of water in any of the 4 dams it should not be an issue. We should keep distributing permits for new buildings, keep sanctioning new redevelopment plans, and expand the city to all new corners. No problem if the population has gone from 30 lacs to 70 lacs in the last 15 yrs. If u have any problem then you are xenophobic 👍
@matkashbakihai You ca maybe you know use search feature on social media apps, or AI engines or you know read comments. But wait that takes effort and intelligence. Apologies
@srinualavilli@MMRDAOfficial@WRIIndia@myBESTBus@MumbaiMetro3 Share cycles between metro 3 station (and later on 2b and 4) and BKC office hubs would be a good idea too.
This way the load will be distributed across buses, footpaths, roads. And if we can get data on cycle usage, maybe we can get the cycle lane back
@JAWAHARNEHR Its already happened. Here is simple example. I was in Mcdonalds on gujarat highway. Ordered throught kiosk so no cashier interaction. They came with the order on the table, said in gujrati about a pending item. Now imagine same mcd outlet in maharashtra & they will speak hindi.
To give perspective to my Delhi Acquaintances, Imagine if a migrant group comes to reside in your city and they ban chicken momos, Majnu ka tila, All dhabas, Humayunpur. Thats what has been happening in Mumbai. And when local resist, they try to change laws.
@godbole_shilpa He is an opportunist - leveraging his wife's youtube fame to fix his own daddy issues - desperately trying to build his political career. Unfortunately even people well versed with SM fell for it.

Only in India,a pedestrian can be run over on a zebra crossing 🚸 with solid white lines and yet everyone feels it's normal to have crashes on our roads !
We need to fix the normalisation of violations first and treat them as genuine violations and act quickly without any delays and biases !
