@@harshalgawai746 Bro calm your tits. Its a joke that the guy just looks like Dr.Ambedkar. Not everything is meant to be offensive but people like you look for reasons to be offended. And as for the other racist remarks, I am not sure about the reason behind it but it says more about you than me.

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.
@@Nobodyteachme stop this outsider insider shit. Nobody is an outsider in any city in India. Everyone is an indian citizen and allowed mobility as per law. Question the useless corrupt politicians and bureaucrats instead of common hardworking citizens.
But U have to understand.....Area of Mumbai is less but people across the India coming to Mumbai as Patients, For Daily wage Job, Rape of Minor Girls ie Human Trafficking, Surroundings District people around Mumbai coming To Mumbai, Mumbai's Own people All above total makes to 2 Crore population. That's why stop producing children more than two in UP, Bihar State and stop marriage at the age of 15 or 16 and provide the Jobs in their Home state at Local level.

Zoru is an absolute legend. 95% of the time you can't argue with him coz he debates on facts , not opinion. As an individual, it's no small feat to be able to stand up to the plethora of sarkars and mafias that infest the cesspool that is Mumbai. Really, hats off to this guy for exposing all the issues of Mumbai since decades.
Vishal you are a eye opener,no one else besides you can do this deep study of this real estate scam, you have made clear that how corruption has deep roots in the system,hats off to you,do your research more efficiently so that it opens everyone's eyes.
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.
I am an Architect, I have lived in a slum in Mumbai. Almost everyone wants redevelopment but not for better quality of life. Most of the people living there don't have the same ideas of quality of life and aesthetics as we have. They quite like the flexibility of the space, the autonomy of making changes to their individual units, the community. Many that I have studied have committees and function almost like housing societies. Also, its not just free housing really, a lot of these slum dwellers are second dwellers - have bought these houses paying almost 1/3rd the price of the apartments because the apartments are unaffordable to lower middle class Mumbaikars. All they want the redevelopment for is capital appreciation. Everyday conversations are "Price value of my house will increase after redevelopment" Converting these horizontal slums to vertical slums makes a profit for everyone, the slum dweller, the developer, and the local politicians. Sadly, nothing changes for the city.
This deserve a follow up podcast diving deep into the specific issues - metro, dharavi, roads, race course, slums. Next one please focus on the developing of slums along Tulsi pipe road too
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.
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
FABULOUS ABSOLUTELY TRUTHFUL CONDITION OF OUR #MUMBAI The most corrupt BMC & Government (read adani) hope Mumbikars wake up & take action OR get ready to migrate out of this mess of city. BANDRA suburbs + BMC H-WEST ward is the WORST part of #Mumbai
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.
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..
The way he explained SRA projects is 100% right ✅ and true. The pattra / appattra (eligible/non eligible) this criteria and the process of declaration of these tags is full of scams. And people like society committee members, builders, SRA officials, local police, local political leaders all are involved in it. And people who declared as non eligible are thrown out of these projects even though they have stayed there from last 30-35 years.
Navi Mumbai Airport was to come up in 1987 as per CIDCO marketing Dept of that time. Till today it is yet to start after 37 years but builders have been selling their inventory on advertising of the CIDCO & Maharashtra Government.
GUEST MADE A VERY RIGHT POINT... THAT MANY SLUMS IN MUMBAI ARE CLEAN AREAS WITH VERY VIBRANT COMMUNITY... WHEREAS SRA BUILDING ARE VERY BAD... PEOPLE IN SLUM SHOULD NOT GET IN THIS SRA TRAP...
Slums are illegal & are built of land stolen from the tax payer. The dharavi slum should ideally have been left alone for mangroves & migratory birds. So your argument is stupid to put mildly. If you want to live in a slum, buy your own land and make a slum Don't use public land .
#mk Government action in an SRA project where: The SRA terminated a developer's work after a 20-year delay. Significant anomalies were found in the project, including: Presence of deceased persons in eligibility lists. Bogus names in slumdweller surveys. Transactions involving property purchases and sales. Local opposition to the project. BJP MLA, Ameet Satam, noted that there was a "huge disparity" between the listed slumdwellers and actual residents, leading the government to scrap the old eligibility list. No confirmation of people living on roads for 15 years, they suggest significant systemic issues in SRA project implementations in Mumbai, in the Andheri West area. The Adani Linkbay project itself is an under-construction residential development in Andheri West, with apartments ranging from 2-4 BHK and an expected possession date of October 2028.
@bravewarrior1218 I live in that area, my househelp grew up in that area. Her mother had all the papers. Since she died the builders refused to give to her. If you go along the RTO lane, you will see lots of slums along the footpath...those people used to live in the now Adani plot 15 years back. Whenever Ameet Satam is supposed to visit, the BMC comes and tears down the slums. It is all dirty politics. The scam you are talking was of Bhujbal. He took money from some other builders etc... Now Adani has paid the required people and got this plot to develop. The poor people have either relocated to nearby slums or are living on the roads. They were promised money and home which they never got.
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?
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.
I think people in Mumbai are living in a bubble and it's only when they move out they realise what they are loosing out. We should stop looking at it as a role model city
This is the best podcast about Mumbai ever.
One of your best podcast
Bring more activist
Thanks
@@vishalbhargava5400can you also ask these activists about their funding sources. Common sense suggests full disclosure
Most honest podcast ever! Everyone knows what's going on but no one has the balls to say it!
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

Lovely listening to Zoru
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.
Such valid points and arguments by Zoru. 👍🏻
I wish every Mumbaikar who has the power to improve our city sees this podcast. Ofcourse it'll be a marathon task.
What a excellent and exciting talk . The person was excellent on your podcast
Excellent podcast tks for this Vishal and Zoru
Keep it up Zoru! Any forum that common citizens can join to lend their voice against issues (something more tangible than tweeting)?
Wow Vishal!!! He is such a crusader… all power to him..

Great to see someone speaking and standing up. Kudos 👏
The best podcast on Mumbai!! Keep exposing!!!
Amazing episode! Kudos Vishal and Zoru!
True, no road or metro projects are made for public benefit, also so many trucks run through Mumbai , it’s a scary situation for all of us
Very very informative podcast. Issue is what can a common citizens do knowing everything is a scam
What a brilliant podcast! Loved every minute of it.
Great Podcast..I think unless the common people hits the streets and demand their rights its never going to change..
Thanks for sharing the experience and bringing real face of these politition like CM in ppl.
One of the best podcast

💯agree with Zoru
Hi, unable to share the video
Great knowledge of what a podcast ...
Worst politicians and Govt folks.
It was really an eye-opener
In prologue you showd all highlights why I would watch the whole video?
Navi Mumbai Airport was to come up in 1987 as per CIDCO marketing Dept of that time. Till today it is yet to start after 37 years but builders have been selling their inventory on advertising of the CIDCO & Maharashtra Government.
Actually the buildings around airport tower are older...and residents not getting redevelopment benefit hence require to move it to gorai
Very very true sir 👍
Respect.
one more podcast with zoru sir
Love & Regards to Zoru .
very nice bathuta bhai
wow very informative

Dnt think so...Dharavi..Govandi..is inhuman to stay here
🔥
vishal .. have you left Reliance🤔
We need many more Zorus for this city.
Lot of things about SRA he said is his view not actual. For one ppl dont need slum dwellers to run their house. This man needs.
He is speaking the truth but he can survive only with the entire support of the entire mumbai citizens he needs tobe our cm to save mimbai
Adani linkbay in Andheri west on new link road is the best example of the SRA scam...
