Mumbai
City of dreams. Economic capital. Movie Magic. Marine Drive, Gateway of India, Hotel Taj, Dombivili, Mulund, Bandra. Mount Mary for those who have faith in the almighty. The UNDERWORLD. The Mumbai nightlife. The city that lives by its train timings. Dharavi, Vashi, Dadar, Colaba, Bal Thackrey, bomb blasts, Prithvi Theatre, Bhel puri, neon lights, Ganesh Chathurti. Sachin’s Ferrari. What do you think of the traffic though?

Many MMRDA Projects, Aimed At Cutting Short Your Commute Time, Are Running Late.
You can’t miss the irony.

The very projects that have been designed to make your commute shorter are taking a much longer time to complete. Deadlines are being missed more often than not and all this is, consequently, leading to an overshooting of budgets.

It would have been a little less important had this not cost you your money as well. But all the increased budgets are being paid from (where else but) the state exchequer where your taxes go.

TIME IS MONEY The delays in implementation are also robbing the state exchequer, which actually is your money, of crores..

See what projects are getting late....
