This is the state of our roads in Mumbai. We call this the biggest city in India and one of the biggest in the world. We want to replicate and convert it the same way Shanghai is today. For all this to happen the goverment needs to initiate actionable projects with definetive deadlines. What is the point in having a project innaugurated by a big personality or being named after some ex-prime minister if it is going to consistently encounter cost/project overruns and never reach/meet it's original/desired deadlines and completed much later than what it should have been? Mind you Mumbai is one of the rare cities in India where we do see infrastructure projects being completed and implemented but it is all reactive still. We need not talk of the other big cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore in paricular if this is the situation in Mumbai after a heavy downpour. Talking about our Hyderabad, it does not rain that heavy but even a small/sporadic rain causes massive blockages and inundations to homes. The city of hyderabad just begs for modern day drainage system. To get them you need not divert funds from rural places to the cities; it needs basic commensense and the will and desire to do something good.
