@GemsOfRailway And the government is celebrating building of patchy metro and road network. The metro nodes are designed in isolation and don’t connect . Wish they had studied the Delhi model .
@Aunindyo2023 Mr Modi’s biggest strength is a hopeless opposition and I think he should thank his stars. His government has done nothing, absolutely nothing for middle class. He is a big disappointment.
@narendramodi Sorry to say this Sir that your government has failed to deliver anything substantial for the middle class. Highest taxes,pathetic services be it roads, cleanliness, air quality. Defunct government education & health + corruption all around. Wake up & do something real.
Following up on this thread because it’s clearly hit a nerve.
To be fair, a lot has changed in Mumbai’s infrastructure over the years and that deserves acknowledgment. But the pace of growth in our infrastructure still hasn’t caught up with the sheer scale of population and daily inflow Mumbai absorbs.
The recurring point on Friday Public Transport Day: it looks great on paper but totally skips the basics. Last mile from any BKC office to the metro is still rough, barely any footpaths and that stretch neither feels safe nor is comfortable to walk.
Before launching schemes in the spirit of good intent, perhaps validate ease of execution first. Citizens shouldn’t be the ones paying for someone else’s good but unplanned intentions.
There’s real, growing frustration among citizens and it shows in how many people responded to this thread.
What Mumbai actually needs is trains, metros, buses, autos and taxis working as one integrated system with real last-mile solutions and right now that’s totally dysfunctional. This, along with the utmost cleanliness and hygiene, not as an afterthought, but as a basic.
Cities like Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo have cracked this with dense populations of their own, there’s a lot to learn from how they did it.
It’s time the government treated this with the urgency it deserves. We shouldn’t have to keep settling for less.

@sanjeevsinghx Absolutely. Bihar has the potential, I believe the momentum is there. It just needs that little bit extra push to bring in some next gen industry like a semiconductor complex, another to do research and build new gen batteries and may few more. Good luck Bihar.
@MDahariya@HDFC_Bank This is an industry wide practice . All Banks, Mutual Funds and Insurance companies will have something to worry about if an investigation takes place.
IRCTC’s seat allocation logic continues to amaze me.
A friend of mine booked tickets for a family of 3. The parents were allotted seats C5-27 and C5-6, while their 5-year-old daughter was assigned a seat in C13.
This was despite more than 120 seats being available at the time of booking.
To make things worse, even the two seats allotted to the parents were not together. The only practical option they had was to cancel the ticket.
For a platform handling millions of bookings daily, basic family seat grouping shouldn’t be this hard.
@sanjeevsinghx The television and audio-visual media has killed the quality of writing. Editing is left to machines now. The quality of people manning editorial desk has deteriorated and even reputed newspapers carry articles full of grammatical errors.
@dmuthuk@SubramanianKri Our own Indian companies don’t have confidence to invest in India. See the investment pattern of Nifty 50 companies . Except few , the investment from the rest is negligible. What’s the reason?
@ManishKumar302 Mumbai is before your eyes , but more or less same situation is everywhere. CORRUPTION has entered into our Genetic Constitution/Blood Stream. No Politician/Government has the Willingness Or Strength to Control “The Babus, The Bureaucracy, & Contractors”.
No sense getting tense!
What Mumbai can’t build -
1. Large green space/park for the residents
2. Simple footpaths
3. Roads or bridges with smooth and even surface
4. Public parking spaces
5. Clean toilets
Mumbai has the richest municipal body in the country.

🚨 NHAI HATES BIHAR?
Amas–Darbhanga Expressway, Bihar’s first expressway, tells the story of how NHAI works here👇
Despite being India’s most awaited highway - progress is crawling! 🐢
Deadlines missed, pace slow, and only partial work done 👇
📍Package 1 – 46.71%
📍Package 2 – 43.60%
📍Package 3 – 32.68%
📍Package 4 – 25.76%
While construction has picked up compared to earlier months, the project is still significantly behind schedule. Bihar deserves faster execution on such a critical infrastructure project.
Actually if you ask me , Mumbaikars are living the cockroach life. Poor roads, pathetic infrastructure and unbelievably dirty. The prime business district of BKC is a good example . See its connectivity, condition of traffic and public transport- below third world standards.
@RitikaChopra__@RoadsOfMumbai Electric buses operating from Kurla West and Bandra East rly stations every 2 mins touching all the key landmarks of BKC will be more efficient and effective any day than these money making schemes of the bureaucrats . Want to do more- rein in the autos, that’s a days job.
@Ram_Guha@ShashiTharoor Congress believes that only Gandhi’s can keep them together, good or bad leadership doesn’t matter. Shows lack of leadership, character and vision of a party that used to have stalwarts. Now it will serve them better if congress disbands itself. Better alternative would emerge.
