cowboysfan Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Blore by far the worst,it was designed as a small city and not a major metropolitan city-it cannot handle so many people or even infrastructure. Nikhil_cric 1
coffee_rules Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Bangalore is worse, smaller roads, no drainage. If it rains like it does in Mumbai, both cities will be submeged for weeks.

bowl_out Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Have lived in Chennai for 16 years of my childhood. Never seen so much flooding before 2015. This is a recent curse after all low lying areas and lakes have been converted to apartment complexes. Same thing in Bangalore, with massive apartments built over lakes Vicks57, sorak and Chakdephatte 3

The areas that flood mostly are areas that were swamps/marshes that were drained in the 80s-90s to make apartments but no drainage itself put in to prevent it from flooding in rainy season. I hear its the same problem in Amravati. Pretty much the only flat-as-you-get city that hasnt expanded in a way it can flood, that i know of, is Bhubaneshwar.
Nikhil_cric Posted October 17, 2024 Posted October 17, 2024 Bangalore is probably worse. It was well planned for it's population upto the 70's and 80's Can't sustain 10 million . Also the floods occur because we have dried out all the lakes and built over them

For my property in Bangalore, I had to get a dwelling certificate from BMRDA certifying that the property is not built on water land/lake. The process is there to follow. Also there is a door for corruption. It is very easy to get it for a few bucks. Of course the property is not built on a lake, but still we can see so many. We know how and why gattaca 1

Not Chennai's fault. Every metropolitan city has grown exponentially over the last few years, where every lakes, ponds and other river-beds are being filled and then used to construct apartments. Water when it rains need a passage to the ground, with the underground gutter system is poorly maintained, water has nowhere to go but enter into the roads and low-lying areas. Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Bengaluru everywhere same problem. In Hyderabad, HYDRAA authority is hell bent on demolishing the apartments created over water bodies, Nagarjuna's "N-Convention" too is demolished. Many other apartments are under risk of demolishing as well, some even in the old city. Cities like Ahmedabad and New Delhi are somewhat in better shape, as river flowing from the city carries the extra water through itself. In Hyderabad as well they're trying to re-vive the now defunct Musi river, which is now nothing but a nala full of all the garbage you can see.
