There are no expertise in BMC left and everything is handed out as a contract to the contractor who bids unrealistically low. Not just BMC but all city councils across India have been asked to adopt this methodology to keep its expenses bare minimum. Delhi is perhaps the only exception to this because it is a city state with its own city council & state like govt. Awarding of contracts to lowest bidder often leads to unprecedented delays & most often shoddy work. There is insane corruption because these contracting companies are often floated by city level politicians who are aspiring for leg ups in their political careers. Many of them burn their hands by paying bribes to bureaucratic approving authorities at city councils to dilute terms & conditions as well as work standards.
Go and check in ur state. Do not blame anybody here. Outsider captured land and Make Dharavi Zopadpatti.Due to Law , we can not throw them outside of state.
I Differ with Zoru that 1000 slum dwellers 700 are removed. SRA is a scam but all the people get their house it's just that they make a vertical slum and earn the extra space for them as Mumbai is wanted by everyone that's the case they don't see the benefit of slum dwellers they want the precious land which has lots of value as people from outside are flocking in everyday.
Original Mumbaikar living abroad last 10 years. Every year I come, it appears going bad to worse. Rampant corruption is visible by just looking at conditions of city road.
Metro depot definitely does not have to be open to sky. Best example is Hong Kong. Amazing metro system. Very dense city. Mumbai is rather like that. There are many metro depots which have huge housing projects above them. Take for example Heng Fa Chuen station on the main Hong Kong Island Line.
Vishal, wish you would have a discussion about ad hoc redevelopment that's going on in Mumbai. Should carte blanche be given to redevelopment? May be a bit late in the day to discuss this, but it will be well worth the hearing.
Such cynicism takes you nowhere, we are living in resource constrained democracy. Zoru’s protest and Aditya Thackerey’s policies delayed the project by years, costing nearly 10,000 cr.
Systematically, maharashtraians driven out of cities bcoz then you can get outsiders who have no interest in maintaining the overall ethos of the city.
Mumbai is extremely congested. Although that also gives it it's charm and safety. But it's good that other cities are catching up and helping Mumbai decongest
Zoru, I beg to differ with your observation on building redevelopment not being responsible for air pollution. When buildings are razed to the ground with the current humungous numbers, it creates a huge amount of poisonous dust which wind and breeze spreads. How can you say that building dust "is contained"? Would love to hear your thoughts on this on FB.
Hello Zenith, Yes. What you say is correct. But, in Mumbai, the biggest polluter is road work & govt projects, which are happening in every nook & corner of our city. Building construction is not our biggest polluter. Our Government is.
Yes...but this is nothing compared to dust pollution caused by infra projects and vehicular pollution. I was travelling in an auto and I could feel the smoke just could not breathe..
Metros are small, I always hit my head. No place to rest my ass. It gets overcrowded too quickly that it gets difficult to breathe. Gov should have work on extending local lines and no number local trains and enhancing the local train infrastructure.
Please travel abroad and check for yourselves how big these trains are. Joker, there trains are supposed to travel in tunnels. Can you have a 2 storey tunnel ? Are you really stupid or pretending?
Many straight faced lies in this video makes me question the validity of other things he spoke about that I don't about: Example: 29:19 - Slums are indeed dirty some of the filthiest places on earth how does he call it a lie? 🤯
Mumbai is not unlivable. We live in suburbs and these areas are self sufficient. We rerely go to Bandra onwards to south. Suburbs are affordable and as good as city center.
Pls check the status of Original Side Writ Petition No. 1685 of 2014 ... complainants agitate matters, Hon. Judiciary pass very good Orders and later everything dies out, the matters are never listed on boards after all the parties find common grounds! AND The Corruption in Mumbai Land Mafia continues unchecked
One of your best podcast
Bring more activist
Thanks
@@vishalbhargava5400can you also ask these activists about their funding sources. Common sense suggests full disclosure
This is the best podcast about Mumbai ever.
Most honest podcast ever! Everyone knows what's going on but no one has the balls to say it!
Damn Dr Ambedkar really knows his real estate.
Have been following Zoru since long on X. Keep doing the good work 👍. Great podcast
Zoru is a hero, people will realise it only later. It's not easy to stand up against corrupt babus and politicians.
More power to you Zoru
Zoru is corrupt. Why is not opposing Congress state project? Why is not oppose illegal land captured by Outside people. He himself is outsider.
I disagree with statements where he say govt should provide free house to every poor, why should be in mumbai relocate them in mmr
@@ashishaahanall he is saying is good facilities and nice life for rich like him while slums & risky gymnastics (commute ) for the less fortunate
He is a Parsi as far as I know. What does outsider mean? @@Nobodyteachme
Yes, I too disagree with some of his statements about slums, but he's still doing a good job. Mumbai is plagued by corruption.@@ashishaahan
A very good podcast you have shown the other side of development claims! Development at the cost of nature is like digging our own grave.
Thankyou for bringing him on the Podcast Vishal. I hope all of the mumbaikars watch this.
Excellent podcast tks for this Vishal and Zoru
Mumbai is lively but outsider once travels in public transportation understands real struggle, I am not getting into rentals 😮

What a excellent and exciting talk . The person was excellent on your podcast
What a brilliant podcast, Vishal and Zoru ! Excellent !!
Thanks
Lovely listening to Zoru
Keep it up Zoru! Any forum that common citizens can join to lend their voice against issues (something more tangible than tweeting)?
Such valid points and arguments by Zoru. 👍🏻
“My favourite politician is the one who is in the opposition” very well said
I Differ with Zoru that 1000 slum dwellers 700 are removed. SRA is a scam but all the people get their house it's just that they make a vertical slum and earn the extra space for them as Mumbai is wanted by everyone that's the case they don't see the benefit of slum dwellers they want the precious land which has lots of value as people from outside are flocking in everyday.
2:30 Finally Someone is talking about Mumbai's reality. It's totally mess
very good discussion . but unfortunately nothing will change in our mumbai
After long time seen such a great podcast 🎉
That’s a great podcast vishal, we need all the voices to stand a fair point
Original Mumbaikar living abroad last 10 years. Every year I come, it appears going bad to worse. Rampant corruption is visible by just looking at conditions of city road.
Thanks for sharing the experience and bringing real face of these politition like CM in ppl.
True picture of Mumbai given and fooling mumbaikars from ages.
Zoru should spearhead the protest against the Local Trains. The frequency issue is extremely infuriating
One of the best podcast
Wow Vishal!!! He is such a crusader… all power to him..
46:52 Powai Plaza video clip?
Metro depot definitely does not have to be open to sky. Best example is Hong Kong. Amazing metro system. Very dense city. Mumbai is rather like that. There are many metro depots which have huge housing projects above them.

Paisa
Reality of Fadnavis Sarkar...
"Quis custodiet ipsos custodes". Mumbai is a living carcass for all politicians, and the famous Spirit of Mumbai is being crushed everyday
Great interview
Vishal, wish you would have a discussion about ad hoc redevelopment that's going on in Mumbai. Should carte blanche be given to redevelopment? May be a bit late in the day to discuss this, but it will be well worth the hearing.
Love & Regards to Zoru .

one more podcast with zoru sir
Mumbai is extremely congested. Although that also gives it it's charm and safety. But it's good that other cities are catching up and helping Mumbai decongest
Some reasons why Mumbai and India will never be world class, sad but true
Courage hats off brother
💯agree with Zoru
2:58 real issue of Mumbai
कडवा है पर सच है 😮😮😮
Respect.
Amazing Zoru calling spade and spade and naming politicians for their wrong deeds. Not to be missed

Obsessed with real estate.. Parsi colony was also once a jungle
Paris colony still has lot of green cover🌳 unlike other areas where towers are coming up. There was no corruption at that time.
No of autos are increasing unchecked
"serving party not ruling party"
When he says money, he sounds it dirty. Money need not be a dirty word
Why not introduce electric auto riksha in Mumbai?
3:58 truth. Citizens are not at all priority. No one cares
Visit Bandra East malvani and Dahisar’s slums

Any BMC babu or builder here 😁
Nice
Zoru is anti-India as seen from his tweets. Still u bring him on podcast
Could not disagree with you more....please list your reasons if you can!
Anti Indian? Its the people like you who are responsible for such a mess who link everything to nationalism.

Fadnavis exposed😅
What expose? Dharavi slum redevelopment process is not new. It was mooted long time back.
