Water woes

It can be really frustrating to see the city getting flooded everyday and at the same time deal with a water shortage. The municipal authorities will review the water situation on August 15 and then decide whether or not to continue with the cuts.

We've had the best rainfall in 5 years. With two more months to go, the city has already received what's considered a full monsoon quota. So where's the problem? The water hasn't filled two of the lakes that supply water! It's 2010 and the city is not in a position to collect rainwater! There's a complete lack of vision and planning and no middle class resident of this city gives a hoot. So the criminals dominate the municipal corporation and sell drinking water to the 'tanker mafia,' who in turn supply to the slums for a fortune.

We are talking about the largest city of the second fastest growing major economy in the world. Future Superpower my a$$!
