DARK JULY....!

THE JULY OF 2009 WAS NOT AT ALL DIFFERENT FROM THE PAST 4 JULY'S OF 2005-2008 FOR MUMBAI.MUMBAIKAR'S ARE AGAIN IN GREAT TROUBLE WITH RAIN WATER.

AREAS FILLED WITH WATER, NO ELECTRICITY,SEIZED BUSINESS,CLOSED INSTITUTIONS, GUTTED ROADS ARE THE FEW NORMS NORMALLY SEEN IN MUMBAI IN JULY(USED FOR MONSOON).

IT BASICALLY STARTED IN JULY 2005 WHEN THERE WAS A FLOOD IN MUMBAI BECAUSE OF RAIN WATER.IT WAS RECORD BREAKING CONTINUOUS RAIN EVER IN MUMBAI.
FEW RESULTS OF THAT RAIN WERE THAT PEOPLE GOT STUCK IN ROAD JAMS FOR 2-3 DAYS AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REACH THEIR HOMES i.e. THEY STAYED THERE ON ROADS WITHOUT FOOD, NO POWER WAS THERE IN MUMBAI,BUSINESS STOPPED.EVERYONE WAS IN PANIC.MANY PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES.THERE WAS AN EXTREME DAMAGE TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE PROPERTY.ON THE WHOLE EACH PERSON IN MUMBAI WHETHER RICH OR POOR,BUREAUCRAT OR NORMAL MAN GOT AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THAT FEROCIOUS RAIN.

AFTER THAT GOVT. AND MUMBAI MUNICIPALITY MADE PROMISES TO THE PEOPLE THAT IN FUTURE MUMBAIKAR'S DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SUCH RAINS THAT THEY WILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE FACILITIES TO BE SAFE FROM THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS IN FUTURE.

AT PRESENT 4 YEARS OR 4 JULY'S OR 4 MONSOONS HAVE PASSED FOR MUMBAI AFTER THAT PERILOUS MISHAP BUT STILL PROMISES OF GOVT. ARE STILL TO BE FULFILLED.

MAHARASHTRA GOVT. HAVEN'T MADE ANY TRANSITION IN THEIR SYSTEM AS THE SAME OLD DRAINAGE SYSTEM,ROADS ARE PRESENT.NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE EXCEPT MAKING FALSE PROMISES.

I WONDER WHEN WILL THESE PROMISES BE ACCOMPLISHED...?I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE SO LONG THAT MUMBAI PEOPLE NEEDS TO PAY HIGHER PRICE FOR GOVERNMENT MISTAKES.
