- 14 Dead in Billboard Disaster: Will "Spirit of Mumbai" Excuse Work Now? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Rains brought a dust storm to Mumbai on Monday. The storm knocked down a giant billboard in Ghatkopar, killing at least 14 people and injuring 74. After the disaster unfolded, Mumbai's municipal corporation said that the billboard was illegal. The corporation has belatedly promised to remove other illegal billboards in the city. Meanwhile, Monday's rains led to train delays and a stampede in Thane. It's the same story every year, where the people of Mumbai are subjected to horrible conditions and their tolerance in lauded as the "Spirit of Mumbai". Has the "Spirit of Mumbai" become an excuse for officials to not do their jobs?

You shouldn't speak truth that loud!

@@shubhampandey-qh1dhThe whole world know, that's why we're sent to the warzone even if in the other countries
Modi found money for the space program. Yet, Mumbai is a ghetto.
If u visit public places n notice the nuances, this really makes sense.
Bollywood promoted Dharavi Slum as Spirit of Mumbai 😅
They even opposed it's Redevelopment
Some Parties are Rallying 6 Months ago against Dharavi Redevelopment
@@PriyakantPanwarwhatttt redevelopment opposed! What a shame .why do these people love that poop smell somuch
Dharavi Slum is the real face of endia ....

It is the so-called "spirit of Mumbai" where people are expected to bear all injustices and carry on as usual.
Sadly they carry on like sheep and never challenge Politicians who sit in air conditioned offices live in luxury apts with maids. Hindu Religion is more important than social wellbeing and justice. Pray before heading to work with masala on your forehead and hope this mascot will save you.
Khokhla spirit jisme sirf aam aadmi har roz marta hai…
Spirit of Mumbai is a narrative to hide many issues emanating from the CORRUPT ION....Mumbai is the dirtiest place in India except few POSH areas...the big trash mountains outside or nearby them lying with stinking enough to cause vomit...very old ways of cleaning and collection of trash ... cleaning people manually catch hold of trash and putting in the trash van...where govts are spending lacs of crores...why vacuum pump cleaners not used like USA...
I absolutely agree, its sheer nonsense , I am a Resident of Proper Mumbai since my grand parents 80 yrs almost .....Mumbai is one of the most ignored cities , and no prejudice but ,Gujarat is taken care of very well. Mumbai has no efficient govt ever, they all want to trample on its beauty ,on its name, its elegance ,use it , but do nothing , no real love for the city like us . My grandfather was a freedom fighter, state honors. (Mumbai)
That's what happens when you vote on identity not on progress unlike Gujarat, A state which was not made a business capital by the British, yet due to its efforts Gujarat became the fastest growing state of India.
It is the work of civic authorities to see that illegal structures are razed and not allowed to come up.
In mumbai it is the work of BMC to check these things. The bmc is completely ignorant about these issues, even if you make a complain they do nothing about it.
@@orientalguy9462most dunkis happen in gurjat. Gurjat is failed state and they dont have any white collar jobs.
@@Dattebayo3089 check data, fastest growing state is Gujarat and it has been for a long time.
@@Dattebayo3089dude are u insane ..I am from Kerala and recently visited Ahmedabad, Vadodara ..and Surat..I was amazed by the development..I’ve been to Mumbai too and have to say it’s far ahead in terms of infrastructure compared to Mumbai or any other metros…let’s accept the truth and I totally get it…truth hurts..as someone from Kerala it really hurts me more as my state is in shambles
Most rich ! Most currupt !
Political issues just like most issues of the country.
i dont think that Mumbai politicians is corrupt Mumbai politicians do good work for Mumbai always politicians of shivsena Congress or bjp its doesn't matter they always do good for Maharashtra specially economic side and when economy grow everything automatically grow
yes this incident is unfortunate hope bmc or other state also government should learn about this big bill board and make rules poperly about billboards size and where it placed all this things
@@debalinamukherjee7197阿達尼可不會為印度窮人多花一毛盧比。🤣
Only solution is to make mumbai centrally governed like delhi and chandigarh.
Yes govt use Spirit of Mumbai as an excuse 🤨
Maharashtra government is busy in giving protection to Salman Khan and CM rushes to meet him but common people suffer the most. Why it took so much time to rescue people? Who ensures safety of these hoardings? Mumbai is all show off no substance. Also, develop towns and cities in other states so that people don’t crowd Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata and Chennai. Overcrowding and lack of proper transportation is just causing more accidents and havoc.
Salman Khan 😂😂😂
That's why Dholera, GIFT City, Naya Raipur is Built
Properly Designed Cities
hey ignorant n lier , this time Maharashtra govt licking Mr Modi . A rally organised by BJP-Modi in the same area of Mumbai , n ofcourse Shinde was roaming with his master , even he attended his master's nomination at Varanasi ...this all happend with 2-3 days of tragedy....PM not uttered any thing about the tragedy...just assume if this thing happend in Kolkata etc....there Political Ra$calness started .....n obviuosly u guys always defend mischieviously traitor of India , isn't it ??
Sadly the more new cities you build the more the population will grow. Population and breeding factories are already at breaking point and the landmass cannot sustain it hence climate change.
Sal khan doing what supplies drugs
Spirit of corruption!
And complacence about anything and everything.
Bhavesh Bhinde, who owns Ego Media Pvt Ltd, ad agency behind the billboard should be tried and convicted since he has a rap sheet already.
Why not the officials who allowed it?
@orientalguy9462 you have hit the nail on the head - they, too. There is a judicial system in India. Use it
It's illegal I've heard@@orientalguy9462
The irony is BMC ( Brihanmumbai municipal corporation) is the richest civic board in India... t literally has crazy money...what can you expect from corrupted people!
Bmc don't have mayor now. Since 3 yrs election didn't happen. Ias commisioner controlling it. Ask bjp to start the election for bmc😂. Cuz shivsena is not there now
same level of corruption works in PMC pune muncipal corporation.
God have mercey
*Mumbai's struggles with overcrowding, infrastructure issues, and lax enforcement are not inevitable aspects of city life, but problems that require proactive solutions rather than simply attributing them to the city's spirit*
Typical of Mumbai or India for the matter, corruption is ok & accepted until you're caught with your hand in the till. Nothing new, 1 billion populations, expendables, collateral damage.
Spot on but Indians must take responsibility for uncontrolled population growth which is clearly evident by the slums and people living on pavements. Life is cheap and collateral damage is the result of irresponsible parenting/culture/tradition of having a family irrespective of whether it is affordable,
What do you expect from a Corrupted Country..No Rules,Just Crowd everywhere and dusty..
China and every other countries had dust control system from centuries. We Indians are acting as if dusty roads are just normal like oxygen
Also vote for that lier Modi. Indu uslim is our actual problem.
You're right and Don't forget about Human Shit everywhere😨

@@murkhuddindalal ridiculous. South Korea and Japan are clean and better looking as well even though they are democracies. China is better than India because of mindset, not because of democracy.
SHOULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN THE JOB OF THE MUNICIPALITY TO CHECK ..... Why all steps are taken after tragedy
No Pain No Gain !
There is great burden on the cities like Delhi and Mumbai. lots of migration happens here and the cities have become very crowded.
One word - Corruption
@@Artemis_simetrA Exactly !!!
Life has little value in my India..
India is behind by another 100 years compared to other developed and European countries.
India is light years behind China, Korea and Japan too.
Delhi is even worse. In fact Delhi has already been destroyed under the weight of over-population.
Too much pollution, overcrowding, lack of open spaces, lack of greenery, frustrated and angry people who don't have even an iota of patience, most of the people just don't have even basic traffic sense/civic sense or in general you can say common sense 😂😂.
Mountains of filth, e rickshaws and motor rickshaws ruling the streets without following traffic rules properly. Etc etc etc. The list is very long.
Too many people are migrating to Delhi,particularly from bihar and eastern UP and burdening further the already burdened infrastructure. Indian govt must have to build other cities or provide employment to people by investing and opening factories in tier 2 and 3 cities which are already in existence.
I second your thought. Save Delhi.
Looking at the train stampede i wonder if we as a people even deserve to procreate 😢. This is a daily scene in mumbai. What is the use of smart cities or a space program when there is no basic human decency
or INFRASTRUCTURE.
Don't tell me Mumbai has no money. The one thing that Mumbai has is only money.
Our politicians are eagerly waiting to steal all of it. Corruption and no maintenance is the only problem.
People themselves are responsible for this too
After 70 - 80s Many People selected government for short term benefits
They Ignored City Planning
Overpopulation can't be reduced in one day
BJP/NDA Made Naya Raipur, Dholera, GIFT City
Naya Raipur is Underrated City

Spirit of Mumbai, is just a line to sugarcoat pain and issues. Sadly the city cannot support this large population, and governments should plan to develop other cities also.
This is common in third world countries. It is always disaster oriented action plan. Poor governance, corrupt officials, lack of safety measures, etc cause much upheaval for the common people. But the rich continue with their lives unaffected!
Correct India is still very poor and undeveloped third world country
Poor people come to Mumbai to get killed. मुंबई मेरी जान?
It's more like मुंबई ने ली मेरी जान. The situation is no better in several cities as well. The much talked about spirit and resilience is a mask for people bearing the brunt of govts apathy. Knowing all too well that the system only works for money and power and is broken beyond repair for the common man/woman and their problems.
孟買可是比中國上海還要繁華啊！🤣👉🇮🇳🤡
BMC is main culprit for everything in Mumbai. They just need money to ignore illegal work, for current situation they will blame on others. Many corrupt politicians are joint with BMC.
that storm looked scary! Dude that billboard was too big, take those down.
Absolutely.
Have experienced that in the seventies nothing is scary in India life is cheaper than the lives of pets in the West
14 lives taken and dozens injured, who’s responsible for this? And did they get compensation from BMC
BMC knows everything....under their nose this huge illegal billboard installed...! Surely they aware... something passed to someone...BMC should take responsibility for life of these innocent souls.... this will continue...sorry to say... this is the spirit of Amchi Mumbai....
Why should the BMC compensate anyone from taxpayers' money?
They should get those responsible for the negligence and use their retirement benefits to pay for compensating the dead. Most will still retire wealthy, anyway.
BMC staffs who was responsible for that area, permission issue department... from their pockets.. not taxpayers money at all....
@@user-rz7qr1ls6v who’s responsible for this then?, state government or BMC or area councils
Hey! look at the bright side... 14 Lakh lives are born in India each second... 😅
Mumbai is a nightmare city to live in , just live in any other city and feel the difference.
Honestly you get a government that reflects you.. the bmc reflects your choices as a resident of mumbai
Excellent top notch reporting.Literally felt like I was in Mumbai,India.
Love the critical and sarcastic tone of the reporters . . .
They build their billboards just like their bridges, with limited warranty.
Great voice and commentary. Makes the message in the video way more effective.
Am Indian born and educated but chose to live in the West. Worked in Mumbai for a few years and yes every monsoon I would wade in knee deep water am 5'7" tall. The water was disgusting filled with sewage and the drainage/sewage system was non existent and still is. Am in my early seventies. Instead of mandirs/mosques/churches all organised religions perhaps the gods must turn their attention to the well being/welfare rather than Ayodha.
The current government is addressing all problems created by the party that was ruling for 60 years
Blame BMC
Excuse me, it was in LIMCA book of records & NOW, "we found out"??
This is unfortunate in Mumbai
With the weather causing the deaths and injuries. The Billboard crashing on people in Bombay causing fatalities and injuries. Since Mumbai is the financial capital of India. We need standards for Digital Billboards etc.drainage sewers roads etc and for trains overcroeding etc. Keep up the good work Palki.
Even places like Marine drive get deluged in sewage water overflowing through the streets and this has been happening since I remember Bombay...😅
Btw Condolences for the victims ❤
Corruption is in Indias blood.
Well, this is natures way of exposing a corrupt society which never stops drumming that it is free of corruption.
Mumbai spirit, my foot!
Nicely communicated the sarcasm. In the name of Spirit -- people, system are avoiding their responsibility.
This just speaks to the general lack of discipline in India. Look at how the traffic makes a joke of lane discipline, spitting and throwing garbage in public spaces, even open defecation when alternative toilets are available. The government agencies are just echoing this chalta hai culture and attitude.
The spirit of Bombay - animal instinct of everyone. Selfishness- unbridled corruption- A society soaked in criminal activity with no sense of shame. Paying its heavy price. Dons can rule the roast or vanish from clutches of law. By contrast, in Chennai, dadas get periodicaly eliminated by ppice.
"Ghost of Mumbai" to put it bluntly.
This is why in most cities around the world huge billboards are on vacant land on the side of major roads and highways.
Mumbai is dieing
The spirit is no more there
In dubai storm was much larger scale not a single person died. But in shinning india strong breeze can kill 15 people and injured 75. Was that mismanagement or spirt of india. What kind of jokers u r
Don't insult the people by calling their comeback everytime as their spirit of comeback, its the desperation for survival that makes a comeback in them.
Someday the same so-called spirit may turn against the entities that provoke their desperation.
'DESPERATION FOR SURVIVAL'.
Dil chhu liya Bhai Aapne.
It"s the bitter reality. Delhi is even worse than Mumbai, and that also by a huge margin.
Yesterday's dust storm and rains have shown us that the coming monsoon will be deadly for us Mumbaikars!!😢
And then they think why people choose to be a 3rd class citizen in a 1st world country
Excellent more comments on this theme would waken parents who have too many children they cannot afford and yes am one of those who would be 3rd class citizen than live in desperation in India. Cannot understand why Bollywood cannot make it a mission to hand out free sterilisation clinics.
I hope all those families sue‼️ Condolences to families and friends. And a speedy recovery to those injured 💐
Why Indian government offices like municipalities wake up only after such disaster strikes??
Thank u sharmaji for the updates news❤️
Thane station is the first station of the country and see the situation and development here, meanwhile Thane roads are considered as wide to Mumbai roads but again fully covered with billboards as you enter from check naka. BTW, BMC is one of the richest municipalities in the world but most underperforming as I feel. No wonder why they want control over Mumbai during elections, only money nothing else.
Being a Mumbaikar, I am ashamed the way the city is run......Road, Metro construction taking too long, Unchecked Redevelopment everywhere , Roads width still the same, while vehicle per Km has increased 3 to 4 times the capacity...Wondering where will we get water, power........definitely this is not going to be sustainable....almost reaching the tipping point.........
Public safety is joke in Mumbai or whole Bharat. No matter its railway, road or Foothpath everywhere you'll find mismangement and chaos. This is how India is going to become super power without protecting their citizens safety or life.
4:04 🤢🤢🤮🤮the wastes and dirty water . That's the sight you get after struggling to enter the train💀
It is most unfortunate for our India that only after the accident occurs and people lose their lives, it is realized that this bridge was illegal, why action is not taken earlier, that means there is no value for life.
Now BMC knew that Billboard was illegal, so far they were sleeping or waiting such things to happen. Actually their responsible staff who filled their pockets to allow such a big structure to erect, should be sent to Jail for killing of those 14 life. BMC seems to be India's most Corrupt body that governs Municipality of Mumbai.
Good Mumbaikars for not changing them..... do you really think you deserve some different. Do Vote the right man rather than spending Voting day as holiday. Your life is at stake....
This spirit of Mumbai thing holds true for the whole country!
Such hoardings are banned by the ordrs of the High Court of Chennai. The socalled famous Bombay HC abdicated its authority.
No such trains in Delhi. We have closed metro to avoid people falling off from trains. No billboards allowed in Delhi. Nobody feels nostalgia on their stupid local train system that is age old , unsafe and needs to be replaced by modern metro totally. Only Mumbaikars do that.
And, I'm not saying rest of India is perfect, but definitely we can all learn a thing or two from each other regarding safety measures.
As a Mumbaikar i must say plz don't come for work in Mumbai from others states... U must work in ur states.
People need to stay indoors when storms like that happen.
MAke Mumbai a Union Territory, It will free Mumbai from Local govt. And Goons.And Central budget will increase and so do Infra and Revenue..😢😢😢
A stark contrast between Mumbai and other cities such as Bangalore and Delhi. It seems that Mumbai is still stagnant and the embodiment of India of the past while Delhi and Bangalore are progressing and becoming the face of a new India.
Delhi 😂😂😂, are yu serious. In the past Delhi had its own charm. Its not progressing in fact the quality of life has taken a fall back.
@@kkishore6882 Have you been to Gurgaon recently? Gurgaon has taken centerstage across Delhi NCR, since things are more organized. Better infrastructure, more swanky corporate spaces, nice leisure and entertainment venues, large residential societies, etc. (Though, I would never say it's perfect, as there is lot of corruption and challenges-- but at-least it showcases what urban planning can do)
@@devshreebhardwaj3096 yes been to Gurugram may times. However it's not Delhi. Gurugram is Delhi NCR. Municipal bodies are different.
Bangalore is dogshit. They are creating a building at every place. Just because corporate spaces are developed doesn't mean other places are clean. THEY ARE NOT!
As far as safety is concerned, India is never proactive.
with 1.4 billion population, we are just too many and human lives hold no value! No health and safety regulations, no emergency drills to make people aware.
Meanwhile officials are laughing in the corner
Too much population. The more our numbers are, the lesser our value will be in eyes of the officials
Meanwhile govt: just 14,we have 1.4 billion more
No big deal!
No matter how rich the city is it cannot go against nature.
so..this is new india...Huh!!
Complaint filed after disaster. Wow
Very sad situation
Now you know why Made-in-India did not take off.
Where is MNS now who keep fighting for silly reasons like Marathi language, etc. 5 lakhs compensation for the dead persons families is pathetic. We have such bad roads but are fined for seatbelts, helmets.
Condolences 🙏💔💐
How about the Spirit of Corruption of Indian Politicians, Administrators & Bureaucrats who are responsible for these kind of deaths ?
The problem is no action will be taken against the corrupt BMC official, in India the municipal corporation are the hub for corruption
Wind attack...very sad
Spirit of Mumbai: live like cattle and think of it as a challenge.
BMC ignores just about everything and do nothing even if several complains are made regarding illegal structures.
Bmc election didn't happen for last 3 yrs. Ias commissioner controlling it now.
Shame shame to India's G20 summit. What an embarrassment after manipur violence 😳
I'm a residence of South Mumbai
Feeling bad about this all but we are used to it
So now we feel it's common even though it's not .
We regularly face dealy in local trains, water logging in monsoon etc
now this is progress....
How can they have resilient spirit when they're dead.
Spirit of Mumbai is promoted by celebs and businessmen who have homes in posh locations but need migrant workers to come and work so that the demand of their properties always remain high !
Spirit of Indians... life needs to continue regardless...
I am shocked to see the stampede
Biggest achievement in india is to leave it.
Mumbai BMC budget is the largest in entire Asia. So why is water logging and other problems still continuing?
corruption and apathy, what else!
That place like the most disturbing place to live in
Finally somebody called out the politicians and local bodies manipulation
This is so tragic and senseless. They have been times here in America when I’ve seen these giant billboards and I wonder… Has anyone considered the weather and the wind?
Sorry to hear about casualties and hope the city does better as monsoons are supposed to be getting more extreme with the largest iceberg cut loose in the Antartic resulting in rising ocean levels and will result in increased precipitation. Brazil, China seeing the effects also
Once after one of the Bomb Blasts of Mumbai I'd written a small article and shared amongst friends, which was called, "The Poultry Farm - Mumbai" what was and is called resilience is actually a treadmill which all Mumbaikars are on. We unconsciously are on the grind and ignore tragedies and go on. Just like when a few chickens are taken to slaughter from the Poultry Farm, others are going about their business. And yes it's a Tag line used by the Govt
Last month media was full on cloud seeding 🌨️🌨️....now this happens!!!!😮
The spirit of mumbai is 14 people dead in that incident and other casualties occur. After 4 days we witnessed a huge massive political rally by our PM . This is a real spirit where the life of the common man has no value.
Need to correct the fact that the delay in the train was not due to the storm, but it was due to some other issue way before the storm and rain arrived in Mumbai i.e. from morning 10:00 am
Looks like there's a great reckoning that's going on among corrupt officials now that India is getting richer and requires more reliable urban planning.
Please let's change India. I love India, i hope someday i can be proud of India.
There are more reason to feel proud of .. like watching geopolitical videos from prasantdawan.
Spirit is evil, destroyer.....
overpopulation
Can we say “Spirit of mumbai” = Inefficient administration
Mumbai is ruled by Mafia Shiv Sena and they siphoning money since 1960's. Nothing will change.
No discipline, no control , no sufficient security guards , no ambulances sorry only for celebrities like KANGANA , bloody Mumbai 😡
