I am at Mumbai for attending the Circle Conference of the BSNL Employees Union. It is being held at New Panvel. After landing at the Mumbai Airport along with the General Secretary Com. P. Abhimanyu, we were taken to Panavel in car by our comrades. It took more than one and half hours to reach New Panvel, because by the time it was about 1000 hours and peak traffic time.
But there was one more thing that I observed. The usually good roads of Mumbai were completely damaged and were due for repair. Yes, the repair has started but everywhere it is half way. In the torrential rain that Mumbai is having, the roads have become such a mess that with the usual traffic jam, water logging and the half repaired roads, it was something of a disaster.
Next day I went for a morning walk from the hotel where we were staying. There was drizzling in a small way. I could not proceed much because here also the road was neither fit for traffic nor for walking. I returned after buying some newspapers.
Whether the Municipal Corporation is doing something to ensure better roads for the people of Mumbai and restore its efficiency?
