The ridiculous state of Mumbai footpaths

 

This is what an average footpath in Mumbai looks like. 

And this photo pretty much sums up what the post is about. Why can't Mumbai have decent footpaths? Footpaths that do what they're supposed to do: Let people walk without injuring themselves, falling, tripping!

Look at these pictures. A manhole, minor repair are enough to destroy a fully-functioning footpath. And Mumbai's municipal corporation is rich! We pay taxes for this stuff. Shabby!

 



Some more footpath fails. 

This footpath is outside one of Mumbai's best and most-frequented malls: Phoenix at Lower Parel.



Then this is what happens to footpaths on voting day:




Next up, the footpath opposite the head offices of The Times of India and the BMC.

What can you change if you can't change the area around you?
