Spirit of Mumbai is a narrative to hide many issues emanating from the CORRUPT ION....Mumbai is the dirtiest place in India except few POSH areas...the big trash mountains outside or nearby them lying with stinking enough to cause vomit...very old ways of cleaning and collection of trash ... cleaning people manually catch hold of trash and putting in the trash van...where govts are spending lacs of crores...why vacuum pump cleaners not used like USA...
I absolutely agree, its sheer nonsense , I am a Resident of Proper Mumbai since my grand parents 80 yrs almost .....Mumbai is one of the most ignored cities , and no prejudice but ,Gujarat is taken care of very well. Mumbai has no efficient govt ever, they all want to trample on its beauty ,on its name, its elegance ,use it , but do nothing , no real love for the city like us . My grandfather was a freedom fighter, state honors. (Mumbai)
That's what happens when you vote on identity not on progress unlike Gujarat, A state which was not made a business capital by the British, yet due to its efforts Gujarat became the fastest growing state of India.
It is the work of civic authorities to see that illegal structures are razed and not allowed to come up. In mumbai it is the work of BMC to check these things. The bmc is completely ignorant about these issues, even if you make a complain they do nothing about it.
@@orientalguy9462 Govn is brainwashing u. Infrastructure means is not developement. Jobs and clean environment is developement. Navi Mumbai have better infrastructure than mumbai bt they have less jobs. Jobs are important. Gujrat is a growing state with no jobs. Gurjat is like china. U don't get real data from gurjat. If PPL form state leaving means the state is underdeveloped. After up/bihari gurjatis leave their state most. And after Punjabis gujratis do most dunkis. Bjp fakes data of gujrat like China. Lol I'm from Mumbai. And my gujju friends don't ever want to go back to gurjat and they also know that all development is fake there. Gujrat give dihadi jobs which are mostly done by north Indian migrants. Skill based jobs are less in gujrat hence gurjati go to other states.
Maharashtra government is busy in giving protection to Salman Khan and CM rushes to meet him but common people suffer the most. Why it took so much time to rescue people? Who ensures safety of these hoardings? Mumbai is all show off no substance. Also, develop towns and cities in other states so that people don’t crowd Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata and Chennai. Overcrowding and lack of proper transportation is just causing more accidents and havoc.
hey ignorant n lier , this time Maharashtra govt licking Mr Modi . A rally organised by BJP-Modi in the same area of Mumbai , n ofcourse Shinde was roaming with his master , even he attended his master's nomination at Varanasi ...this all happend with 2-3 days of tragedy....PM not uttered any thing about the tragedy...just assume if this thing happend in Kolkata etc....there Political Ra$calness started .....n obviuosly u guys always defend mischieviously traitor of India , isn't it ??
Sadly the more new cities you build the more the population will grow. Population and breeding factories are already at breaking point and the landmass cannot sustain it hence climate change.
The irony is BMC ( Brihanmumbai municipal corporation) is the richest civic board in India... t literally has crazy money...what can you expect from corrupted people!
Bmc don't have mayor now. Since 3 yrs election didn't happen. Ias commisioner controlling it. Ask bjp to start the election for bmc😂. Cuz shivsena is not there now
i dont think that Mumbai politicians is corrupt Mumbai politicians do good work for Mumbai always politicians of shivsena Congress or bjp its doesn't matter they always do good for Maharashtra specially economic side and when economy grow everything automatically grow
yes this incident is unfortunate hope bmc or other state also government should learn about this big bill board and make rules poperly about billboards size and where it placed all this things
Typical of Mumbai or India for the matter, corruption is ok & accepted until you're caught with your hand in the till. Nothing new, 1 billion populations, expendables, collateral damage.
Spot on but Indians must take responsibility for uncontrolled population growth which is clearly evident by the slums and people living on pavements. Life is cheap and collateral damage is the result of irresponsible parenting/culture/tradition of having a family irrespective of whether it is affordable,
*Mumbai's struggles with overcrowding, infrastructure issues, and lax enforcement are not inevitable aspects of city life, but problems that require proactive solutions rather than simply attributing them to the city's spirit*
Delhi is even worse. In fact Delhi has already been destroyed under the weight of over-population. Too much pollution, overcrowding, lack of open spaces, lack of greenery, frustrated and angry people who don't have even an iota of patience, most of the people just don't have even basic traffic sense/civic sense or in general you can say common sense 😂😂. Mountains of filth, e rickshaws and motor rickshaws ruling the streets without following traffic rules properly. Etc etc etc. The list is very long. Too many people are migrating to Delhi,particularly from bihar and eastern UP and burdening further the already burdened infrastructure. Indian govt must have to build other cities or provide employment to people by investing and opening factories in tier 2 and 3 cities which are already in existence.
Looking at the train stampede i wonder if we as a people even deserve to procreate 😢. This is a daily scene in mumbai. What is the use of smart cities or a space program when there is no basic human decency
or INFRASTRUCTURE. Don't tell me Mumbai has no money. The one thing that Mumbai has is only money. Our politicians are eagerly waiting to steal all of it. Corruption and no maintenance is the only problem.
People themselves are responsible for this too After 70 - 80s Many People selected government for short term benefits They Ignored City Planning Overpopulation can't be reduced in one day BJP/NDA Made Naya Raipur, Dholera, GIFT City Naya Raipur is Underrated City Naya Raipur Construction was going on from 2000 - 2005 It takes time to do thing's

BMC knows everything....under their nose this huge illegal billboard installed...! Surely they aware... something passed to someone...BMC should take responsibility for life of these innocent souls.... this will continue...sorry to say... this is the spirit of Amchi Mumbai....
Why should the BMC compensate anyone from taxpayers' money? They should get those responsible for the negligence and use their retirement benefits to pay for compensating the dead. Most will still retire wealthy, anyway.
BMC is main culprit for everything in Mumbai. They just need money to ignore illegal work, for current situation they will blame on others. Many corrupt politicians are joint with BMC.
Spirit of Mumbai, is just a line to sugarcoat pain and issues. Sadly the city cannot support this large population, and governments should plan to develop other cities also.
It's more like मुंबई ने ली मेरी जान. The situation is no better in several cities as well. The much talked about spirit and resilience is a mask for people bearing the brunt of govts apathy. Knowing all too well that the system only works for money and power and is broken beyond repair for the common man/woman and their problems.
This is common in third world countries. It is always disaster oriented action plan. Poor governance, corrupt officials, lack of safety measures, etc cause much upheaval for the common people. But the rich continue with their lives unaffected!
Am Indian born and educated but chose to live in the West. Worked in Mumbai for a few years and yes every monsoon I would wade in knee deep water am 5'7" tall. The water was disgusting filled with sewage and the drainage/sewage system was non existent and still is. Am in my early seventies. Instead of mandirs/mosques/churches all organised religions perhaps the gods must turn their attention to the well being/welfare rather than Ayodha.
This is unfortunate in Mumbai With the weather causing the deaths and injuries. The Billboard crashing on people in Bombay causing fatalities and injuries. Since Mumbai is the financial capital of India. We need standards for Digital Billboards etc.drainage sewers roads etc and for trains overcroeding etc. Keep up the good work Palki.
The spirit of Bombay - animal instinct of everyone. Selfishness- unbridled corruption- A society soaked in criminal activity with no sense of shame. Paying its heavy price. Dons can rule the roast or vanish from clutches of law. By contrast, in Chennai, dadas get periodicaly eliminated by ppice.
This just speaks to the general lack of discipline in India. Look at how the traffic makes a joke of lane discipline, spitting and throwing garbage in public spaces, even open defecation when alternative toilets are available. The government agencies are just echoing this chalta hai culture and attitude.
Thane station is the first station of the country and see the situation and development here, meanwhile Thane roads are considered as wide to Mumbai roads but again fully covered with billboards as you enter from check naka. BTW, BMC is one of the richest municipalities in the world but most underperforming as I feel. No wonder why they want control over Mumbai during elections, only money nothing else.
Corruption is in Indias blood. Well, this is natures way of exposing a corrupt society which never stops drumming that it is free of corruption. Mumbai spirit, my foot!
Don't insult the people by calling their comeback everytime as their spirit of comeback, its the desperation for survival that makes a comeback in them. Someday the same so-called spirit may turn against the entities that provoke their desperation.
Being a Mumbaikar, I am ashamed the way the city is run......Road, Metro construction taking too long, Unchecked Redevelopment everywhere , Roads width still the same, while vehicle per Km has increased 3 to 4 times the capacity...Wondering where will we get water, power........definitely this is not going to be sustainable....almost reaching the tipping point.........
In dubai storm was much larger scale not a single person died. But in shinning india strong breeze can kill 15 people and injured 75. Was that mismanagement or spirt of india. What kind of jokers u r
Public safety is joke in Mumbai or whole Bharat. No matter its railway, road or Foothpath everywhere you'll find mismangement and chaos. This is how India is going to become super power without protecting their citizens safety or life.
A stark contrast between Mumbai and other cities such as Bangalore and Delhi. It seems that Mumbai is still stagnant and the embodiment of India of the past while Delhi and Bangalore are progressing and becoming the face of a new India.
@@kkishore6882 Have you been to Gurgaon recently? Gurgaon has taken centerstage across Delhi NCR, since things are more organized. Better infrastructure, more swanky corporate spaces, nice leisure and entertainment venues, large residential societies, etc. (Though, I would never say it's perfect, as there is lot of corruption and challenges-- but at-least it showcases what urban planning can do)
Bangalore is dogshit. They are creating a building at every place. Just because corporate spaces are developed doesn't mean other places are clean. THEY ARE NOT!
Now BMC knew that Billboard was illegal, so far they were sleeping or waiting such things to happen. Actually their responsible staff who filled their pockets to allow such a big structure to erect, should be sent to Jail for killing of those 14 life. BMC seems to be India's most Corrupt body that governs Municipality of Mumbai. Good Mumbaikars for not changing them..... do you really think you deserve some different. Do Vote the right man rather than spending Voting day as holiday. Your life is at stake....
Excellent more comments on this theme would waken parents who have too many children they cannot afford and yes am one of those who would be 3rd class citizen than live in desperation in India. Cannot understand why Bollywood cannot make it a mission to hand out free sterilisation clinics.
No such trains in Delhi. We have closed metro to avoid people falling off from trains. No billboards allowed in Delhi. Nobody feels nostalgia on their stupid local train system that is age old , unsafe and needs to be replaced by modern metro totally. Only Mumbaikars do that. And, I'm not saying rest of India is perfect, but definitely we can all learn a thing or two from each other regarding safety measures.
Need to correct the fact that the delay in the train was not due to the storm, but it was due to some other issue way before the storm and rain arrived in Mumbai i.e. from morning 10:00 am
It is most unfortunate for our India that only after the accident occurs and people lose their lives, it is realized that this bridge was illegal, why action is not taken earlier, that means there is no value for life.
Ghanta 'Spirit of Mumbai'. A phrase probably coined by the most corrupt people as an excuse. India is good at 'pledging' and 'criticizing'. Government babus wake up only when something happens.
Where is MNS now who keep fighting for silly reasons like Marathi language, etc. 5 lakhs compensation for the dead persons families is pathetic. We have such bad roads but are fined for seatbelts, helmets.
such reckless Government practices, the Limca awarded Billboard being found as illegally Constructed after several Deaths and Injuries, Which shows how poor the quality and How transparent is the Government towards such an massive illegal construction. We need some kind of Standard Government authorised Certification and testing need to be done for every construction or a Infrastructure, a quality checking team before everything is being finally open to Public, unfortunately India is lacking in Quality Check, this is a lesson not tob be repeated in the future threat. so pity of my India!
The spirit of mumbai is 14 people dead in that incident and other casualties occur. After 4 days we witnessed a huge massive political rally by our PM . This is a real spirit where the life of the common man has no value.
I'm a residence of South Mumbai Feeling bad about this all but we are used to it So now we feel it's common even though it's not . We regularly face dealy in local trains, water logging in monsoon etc
A very large billboard without openings to allow for wind flow, or without a curve to allow air wind flow along. That's why it fell to the heavy breeze.
Billboards in Maharashtra and especially in Mumbai are big in size and numbers also. Considering coastal conditions of storm &heavy winds , the authorities must get stricter with the permission. In south TN govt banned all billboards long ago due to such mishaps .still you may find small temporary ones..
This is so tragic and senseless. They have been times here in America when I’ve seen these giant billboards and I wonder… Has anyone considered the weather and the wind?
This also happens in developed first world countries. Seat belts, earthquake building standards, flood controls dams, etc., get constructed or implemented only after people die. It's actually a learning process. The tragedy will be if you don't learn from these events and implement reforms or changes to the way you do things to mitigate deaths in the future.
Its because of this saying “Spirit of mumbai” which is why we mumbaikars have to suffer everyday Stampede and similar such accidents happen everyday. I pledge to stop saying “Spirit of Mumbai”. It is actually the “suffering of Mumbai”
@firstpost please also capture the immense delay caused yesterday (15.05.2024) at Ghatkopar railway station where metro services were suspended because the PM had to do a roadshow. There was immense pressure and crowding. Why should one vote for those who induce such situations!?
BmC is also responsible . For the hoarding collapse. How come they were not aware of such a big illegal billboard , way above the dimension. The person at BMC should be sacked.
Ugh we're so much frustrated with our government busy in stupid matters like providing security to salman khan Central government should stop babysitting gujarat and better watch out other cities too
Why are you blaming Salman Khan did he drop the bill board?? Talk sense don't talk rubbish. Blame the BMC and politicians. In india people only know to fight with religion fight for right not religions. India is full of corruption and hatred.
Wrong narrative by the govt... 1.the accused is responsible But 2. Government TOWN PLANNING body , MCD are responsible 100% for no audits what's ever and taking brides to allow hoardings risking citizens life Kindly put the town planning director of the public body behind bars for his incapability to do any audits to avoid this situation.... Why the public administration is busy taking care of bribes and personally just taking care of netas and richest... Unka kaam yaad dilao unko 3. Sorry would not help, ask the public body MCD to pay damages to each victim family of 30-50L from their funds as a liability and not from disaster management funds....govt employees ko na kaam karne ke liye public paisa de income tax se loot Kar aur phir yeh neta aur richest ya corrupt ki sewa karein... Let them take salaries from neta right #Make individual income tax 0in India #India public doesn't not want to pay salaries of public administration serving neta and 1% richest and making anti public policies treating them shit
when i was a student, i used to travel from thane to panvel!! Even though train started from thane women used to enter the train in attack mode!! A lady fell down and women stepped on her and entered!!!
Bmc is most corrupt ted their engneers fill their pockets to buy2.5 crflats with a mesgre salary of 1.5 lakhs😂😂😂I have seen many there ia a great Nexus.
with 1.4 billion population, we are just too many and human lives hold no value! No health and safety regulations, no emergency drills to make people aware.
