Need Better Infrastructure: Farhan, Richa on Mumbai Monsoon

Stars rue lack of preparedness for MumbaI monsoon.

Celebrities like Farhan Akhtar, Atul Kasbekar and Annup Sonii have slammed the authorities for lack of preparedness for monsoon in Mumbai, and say that the city needs better infrastructure.

This comes after Mumbai was crippled for the second time in less than a month after a section of a foot overbridge (FOB) crashed over the Western Railway (WR) tracks at Andheri following Tuesday's heavy rains which left many areas of the city flooded, playing havoc with road and rail traffic.

Here's what the actors said:

Andheri bridge collapse is yet another reminder of how pathetic Mumbai’s infrastructure is. For a city that gives so much to the exchequer, we deserve better, if not best. #shame

Richa Chadha also took to Instagram to point out Mumbai’s sorry state of affairs.

It's not confusing...It's a very sad state of affairs...We need to stop making a joke about it and taking it so lightly, only then will the authorities take us, the mumbaikars and the situation seriously... https://t.co/Ud9F4ge2zt

Atul Kasbekar said, “It rains in Singapore almost every day. There's never a bloody pothole on even a side street there. It rains three months annually here. Why can't we have roads in Mumbai that don't resemble Armstrong's buggy ride on the moon? Too much to ask?”

And do stop this rubbish bout d ‘spirit of Mumbai’
People go on wt their lives inspite of d crappy infra cause they have no choice n they have to get from one place to another to make a living

If we got a pay check for sitting at home we would.
And pour ourselves some spirit
😀

In #Delhi for the day and this is what’s happening back in #Mumbai! Seriously, how can a city that is so used to monsoons be so ill-equipped to deal with it?!! When will our govt realise that most of this is caused by corruption?!!! #mumbaimonsoon #terribletuesday @Dev_Fadnavis pic.twitter.com/dS1ToN9vCI
