The hotel Flourish Stays in Malaviya Nagar, where the fire incident has killed 21 people so far, had permission for only 6 rooms but was operating 25. It didn't have fire safety clearance either.
No surprises. I'm sure 90% of hotels operate like this. MCD knows, they come for inspections, take their cut, and leave. It's only after such tragedies that these irregularities make the news.
Will the police arrest any MCD officials responsible for ensuring that hotels operate as per the norms? No way. They'll probably arrest the hotel's restaurant cooking staff because the fire apparently started in the kitchen.
I am a CBSE Class 12 student.
After receiving unexpectedly low marks in Physics, we applied for photocopies of my answer sheets through the CBSE reevaluation process.
Today we received the copies.
And I am shattered because the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE is not mine
@HEstatevoice@SanjayKelkar_ Thanks @SanjayKelkar_ Sir , it's very reassuring to have you on side of public and residents on this serious issue which impacts each and every Hiranandani estate resident.

"Mumbai has never been this hot". A commonly heard phrase in most discussions these days.
growing up we heard about 40 degrees in Rajasthan and always equated heat with desserts. Mumbai used to be 30 types - max 31-32. Just rocketed past 35 in the last half decade and now 40 is the new normal. "Feels like" is another parameter now entering our lexicon.
It is not surprising as we move with great glee, cutting down trees, obliterate mangroves, pour concrete in every crevice we find and generally give two hoots about politicians damning our present and future.
The suburbs of Mumbai always end up getting the short end of the stick and now this is getting multiplied every year. Whatever greenery exists will be centred around DAMU. The suburbs will soon be an urban dessert. More vehicles on the road will mean more heat islands and then there are those buildings with glass facades.
All in all, it's going to get hotter unless we change our thinking around development. Tough choices will need to be made. quite easy for us once we make up our minds; we have always been a pragmatic city. Last few years we have handed over our soul to unaesthetic ghouls who cannot think beyond the next elections. And this is where we have reached.
lets cool down, get back folks who understand the issue at hand and can work out a solution. Else that bullet train will also run empty. I mean if one wants to see a dessert might as well go to the real one and not one made of concrete.
