    Prevailing condition in Mumbai is very precarious with flooded areas and slum dwellers settled in various places. Also, with some decades old residential buildings which are hardly maintained. These are the beginning of worse days in due to changing weather patterns.

    With reference to 2005 flood to till today(2019) no work had been carried out to tackle the flood related issues,Officials-Political parties change after their tenure is completed But Problems are faced by the same old pubic, what a pitty of their survival.This is just an example of inefficient-lazy-Cunning politicians cruel intentions,failures..

    I remember in 2004 , in Mumbai there was heavy craze(liking) for Mr.rahul Gandhi, like people were treating him like an Super Hero...rahul Gandhi traveled in local train........rahul Gandhi went to local ATM to withdraw money, there he greeted the watchmen and many more...Even he was made youth icon....he was in full boom..

    In 2014-2019, same old public is treating our PM Mr.Narendra Modi as Super Hero again , myself will request and wait for our Dear PM to build/develop my India to be an super country and make it an more better place for us ....
