Vivek Agnihotri expresses exasperation over enduring flooding of Andheri subway
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, Kashmir Files fame, voiced his dismay over the enduring flooding of Andheri subway every year after heavy downpour. After Heavy Mumbai Rains: ‘Citizens Suffer, They lose their life…
On Monday morning, heavy rains lashed Mumbai which led to waterlogging in several locations in the city
He also took a swipe at the government on the issue that has plagued the city for decades. On Monday (July 8) morning, heavy rains lashed the city which led to waterlogging in various locations. Local train services were paralysed and the movement of public particularly the officegoers many who couldn’t reach their workplace owing to disruption of public transport and flooding of roads. Several local trains grounded to a halt in the wee hours.
The director took to his official X account and took a sarcastic dig at the government. He criticised the government’s efforts and mentioned that the subway consistently floods every monsoon.
He wrote, he has lived in Mumbai for 30 years. Everything sarkari fails but this subway never fails to flood. It’s so stubborn even as government ensures to solve it, but it never happens. Citizens suffer, they die, but who are they anyway… but mere statistics?
No sooner the filmmaker shared the post, several Mumbaikars spoke about the lack of accountability and ‘effective solutions’ to tackle the issue. A user commented, “Government is promising as every year it is spending. Since government keep spending only till the problem is not resolved, the problem will never get resolved.”
Another wrote, he is a witness to yearly flooding of this subway from his school days in 70’s. Frankly unless we lift the subway by 20ft, which practically means no subway, flooding is unavoidable.”
“City is spoiled beyond repair state. And climate change is real thing. Many of the world’s best cities woth good infra are also having bad times due to weather bit harsh than expected/planned for?”
Mumbai BMC is most richest Municipal in Asia then why we face such situation every monsoon ?
Because all Corrupt practices & non political will & most importantly People dont want their environment habitat clean as much as their houses.
Be it any govt, it’s the common man who suffers. They make big roads for their name n fame.
First they should take care of basic necessities like potholes
and waterlogging.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Vivek is all set to return with Parva – An Epic Tale Of Dharma, touted to be based on the Hindu epic Mahabharata. Reportedly in October 2023, the filmmaker had shared the first look of the film.
