@mybmc @mybmcWardHW Your contractor has come and begun digging St Sebastian Cross Road for Concretization. No notice given, no plan shared, no utilities mapped. Road access to senior citizens will be blocked for almost a month. How do we get an ambulance in?

@rubenmasc Reuben, it’s useless engaging with him. He’s known to rage bait to stay relevant and get reach. The ones who suffer know. The relentless digging, choked drains, loss of tree cover and deteriorating air quality can’t be excused away by his Rage Baiting.

When you say Mumbai handles 500mm ‘with a smile’, whose smile are we talking about? On 18 August 2025, the city took roughly 177mm of rainfall in 6 to 8 hours. The result - a BMC school holiday, an IMD red alert, multiple locals cancelled, the CM asking offices to send everyone home by 4pm and a landslide in Chembur that damaged homes. All at one-third of the threshold you claim the city handles cheerfully. About the ‘stupid Andheri Subway’ you want us to scroll past. It floods because it sits in the Mogra Nullah catchment, and the Mogra Pumping Station, sanctioned at ₹393 crore in 2021 with a 24-month contract clock, still hadn’t broken ground as of Feb 2026 after the site clashed with the Versova-Dahisar Link Road. So yes, agreed, people should understand Mumbai’s geography. The BMC’s own SWD department might be a decent place to begin with. BRIMSTOWAD was conceived in 1993 to upgrade drainage capacity from 25mm/hr to 50mm/hr. Post the 26/7 deluge we had the Chitale Committee report. Three decades on, the budget has tripled, two of the eight promised pumping stations (Mogra and Mahul) are still pending and the project is roughly 80% complete. The system was never designed for 500mm in 24 hours. Nobody is running doomsday propaganda. People are reading the same IMD alerts you’d rather have them ignore. If the pumping stations meant to clear those drains haven’t been built, ‘clogged drains’ are far from the complete story.
Shivam Vahia@ShivamVahia

It is a myth that Mumbai drowns. We literally handle 500mm of rainfall in a span of 24 hours with a smile. Nothing stops. Water logging are edge cases, and pretty much all can be attributed to clogged drains. 26th July was an anomaly. Not the norm. No city can handle 900mm in 24 hours. None. Every monsoon the visuals of that stupid Andheri subway are used to spread this BS that the city drowns. It doesn't. Idiots have no idea how much we've spent on storm water drains + pumps + low-lying wave barriers to counter floods. It is an astronomical amount. And you don't see it like the coastal road because all of it is underground, bored with TBMs. Stop with the doomsday propaganda. And STFU if you don't understand Mumbai geography.

@gauravsabnis He likes living in his own immature, rage baiting echo chamber. The best thing he had done was block me for calling him out. A mature conversation can be had with someone mature enough to not take everything personally.

Half knowledge🤦🏾 Tetrapods help but Marine Dr doesn't flood cos it's one of the few parts of Mumbai that is the way it was before reclamation. Tertapods prevent erosion not flooding. Contrary to his take, mangroves are extra crucial BECAUSE Mumbai is mostly engineered.

If mangroves are the ONLY flood barrier, then I wonder why Marine Drive aka Queen's Necklace has never flooded. Even during high tides and heavy rainfall, the sea tries its best, only to meet Tetrapods. And the following concrete embankment. At max a few waves splash through and kekdas end up figuring out ki BC dariya kidhar gaya?! This entire narrative that we can't engineer anti-flood provisions is evil. All of SoBo is reclaimed land on backwaters. It has been like this for 200 years now. The city is still here. Not just surviving, but growing. And we'll continue to push our limits. Every mangrove in the way will be cut. Every tree will have to go. You are in a city. Not a jungle. And despite all our greed, 1/3rd of our land is reserved and marked as a Forest (SGNP), where four dozen bibtyas (leopards) live in harmony with us. Monkeys, deers, gharial etc, all are still among us. Stop your BS Greta Syndrome. We will build. We will build as much as we want. We will plow through your ecosystem to create a new one. And we won't apologise for being normal. We have every right to be a first world city.

Q1. Guess which British slang word for “mad” comes from the Indian town of Devlali, where bored soldiers awaiting transport in the 1940s were said to lose their minds. #doolallyq

@badumtsso Bandra is Bandra. Used to be quiet, calm, breezy and peaceful, until the cafe and construction craze. Stop opening cafes every 50 ft. It’s getting ridiculous now. Come to Bandra but leave your defender at home.

A school is built by a private developer and given to BMC. In 2024. Yet it’s lying unused even today. In the world’s most expensive property market - real estate meant for public cannot be left to rot. It is a crime against citizens which must stop.

Very distressing to see the rupee losing its value. The UPA is responsible for mismanaging the economy.

@Platypuss_10 Mostly the case when dispatched with one brake inop.This allows for the wheels to slowly spin down to a stop and reduce the stress on the gear during the retraction sequence.Another reason could be hot brakes due to no brake fans and quick turn around. Former seems the case here

This UPS Boeing 747-8 performs a steep takeoff while keeping the gear down during climb-out. 747 pilots - why keep the gear down up to that altitude after takeoff?

I know people are giving Air India grief for an incorrect aircraft dispatch with the 777, but American Airlines did the same this last year when they sent a 787-9 to Naples instead of a 787-8. Naples airport can't accept the bigger variant so the flight had to divert to Rome.This shit happens every so often, but yeah, dispatch should be more attentive. And I'm surprised that the 'smaller' variant of the 777 didn't have 'permission' to operate to Canada, since Air Canada themselves had the LR, but I guess paperwork and bureaucracy strikes across the world and each individual type needs separate approval for every airline.
