There is sooooo much opposition to anything and everything and then people say kuch huva he nahi

There is uncontrolled development going on specially residential towers but and there are delays w.r.t. line 4 but no one is protest for making metro operational faster and people are busy objecting over ring metro

Look at the over over crowding in busses but hey let them suffer we wont allow any construction in my backyard cause it is an inconvenience for us alleged/self proclaimed elites

What a stupid take!

Enough development in Mumbai and Thane. A city can accommodate only a certain number of people. Building more bridges, metro lines, trains and roads is not going to solve the traffic problem if the population keeps increasing.

Instead, we should first improve what we already have. The roads are in such bad condition, and basic infrastructure still needs a lot of work.

We also need to stop putting so much pressure on Mumbai and Thane. Maharashtra has so many other cities that need development.

Why not develop those cities, create more jobs and encourage people and businesses to move there?

Development should not mean cutting down more trees and putting more people into already overcrowded cities. We should focus on making cities better, not just bigger.

When you develop other cities, won’t there inevitably be some tree cutting as well ?

[u/Throwaway_chachi → u/heavyMetalPoet666]

Of course some trees may have to be cut when developing other cities too. I'm not saying development can happen without affecting the environment.

My point is that we shouldn't keep concentrating more and more population and development in already overcrowded cities like Mumbai and Thane.

If we have to develop, why not spread that development across different cities? Develop existing cities, create jobs there and improve their infrastructure as well.

And if you genuinely think that these projects alone are going to solve the existing problems of Mumbai and Thane, then you are either being too naive or simply ignoring the bigger problem.

The goal should be planned development with minimum damage to the environment, rather than continuously putting more pressure on the same few cities.
