Mumbai Flooding - Garodia Nagar

Down and out for some time due to tooth surgery. It has been raining whole week here in Ghatkopar and is something very good for the people / country and agriculture.

Water woes has been the word all that we are hearing all around the country and with the coming of rains has brought a God sent relief.

Garodia nagar has been facing the same problems year after year , the BMC and the people just turn blind eye and move on, its only gutsy few who have stood up and raised the issue time and again, of these most of them are retired people past 65 years.

The residents have not bothered to see how the BMC and the utility companies do a shoddy job and run away, and consequence of all this the entire colony has to face.

The Local corporator has done little to see what the plight of the colony is , nor the MP or the MLA who by the way stays just a few minutes from the colony.

BMC started the cleaning fo the gutters on June 10th in Garodia Nagar and left all the debris/garbage on the roads and having had enough time with delayed rains which started only on June 24th the garbage is still on the road and now is a stinking slippery and dirty muck all over the road.

The BMC started tiling the concrete cover of the gutter which again started On June 20th and has still not finished, the result is the contractor has left all the sands/ left over mixed cement and debris without bothering to have it collected and packed off in the garbage trucks. The entire colony is filled with muck , most of which have blocking the opening to the gutter and water being collected all over the roads, making life miserable for the residents to walk, and vehicles passing by splashing the muck on people who have no choice but to walk that path.

Yet inspite fo this none bother to stop and ask the contractor to have the area clean up after the work .

They city and garodia nagar has witnessed many flooding, epidemic , health hazards due to all this, but not many will stop and take and initiate or come together to that some thing more can be done by just walking by and suffering quitely.
