Celebrities like Farhan Akhtar, Atul Kasbekar and Annup Sonii have slammed the authorities for lack of preparedness for monsoon in Mumbai, and say that the city needs better infrastructure.
This comes after Mumbai was crippled for the second time in less than a month after a section of a foot overbridge (FOB) crashed over the Western Railway (WR) tracks at Andheri following Tuesday's heavy rains which left many areas of the city flooded, playing havoc with road and rail traffic.
Here's what the actors said:
Richa Chadha also took to Instagram to point out Mumbai’s sorry state of affairs.
Atul Kasbekar said, “It rains in Singapore almost every day. There's never a bloody pothole on even a side street there. It rains three months annually here. Why can't we have roads in Mumbai that don't resemble Armstrong's buggy ride on the moon? Too much to ask?”
