Economic Capital of India gets flooded in 4hours of rain. After the deluge, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had planned the Brihanmumbai storm water disposal system (Brimstowad) project.

According to research BMC is the richest corporation of India although it is full of criticism by media and Mumbaikar every day has no shame for its work.

After 2005 flood BMC had storm water disposal project and after 10 years Mumbaikar found Mumbai with big no different in Roads, Buildings and its other work.

Every time it has been found that the Mumbaikar helping hands came out to protect the people who become a part of natural and unnatural calamity.

Business standard reports says in 2016-17  only 18.33%, or Rs.40,267.26 crore, was actually spent on infrastructure creation in Mumbai over the past 10 years.

Report also says: An analysis of the BMC’s budgets and actual spend from 2006-07 to 2015-16 shows that although the civic body projects towering budget estimates every year, what is actually used is 14- 32% lower than the shimmering estimates. For instance, while the total projections for 10 years amount to Rs2.19 lakh crore, the amount that the BMC actually spent over 10 years was 20.8% lower at Rs1.74 lakh crore.

The plan involved eight pumping stations and 58 projects to improve the city’s century-old pipelines. But in the past 12 years, the BMC has finished fewer than half of the projects.

According to civic data, of the 58 projects, planned in two phases, only 28 have been completed, while 27 are still in progress and the data revealed that the BMC has not even issued tenders for three projects.

The water-receding capacity of the city’s drains is about 25-30mm an hour, which will increase to 50mm an hour once Brimstowad is completed.

The eight pumping stations of BMC is yet to inaugurate the Guzderbandh pumping station, which has missed two deadlines — May 31 and June 9 and 2 stations, at Mahul and Mogra, are just on paper While Mahul is yet to get an environment clearance to build on salt-pan land, Mogra is stuck in litigation over a property dispute.

The city reported says that the major flood took place in 41 locations of Mumbai.

So all those people who said you cannot always blame the government or the authorities, people also need to be responsible for those Mumbaikars have proved how responsible and helpful they are by providing food, shelter and whatever help they can extend to the people who were stuck and shown that the spirit of Mumbaikars have definitely restored the faith in humanity.
