We, the people !

This city is very strange. literally.
Highly inhospitable. weather is always at its worst.
This city experienced few rains in last couple of weeks. It rained cats and dogs for 15 min and the traffic ground to a halt.
water water everywhere.
the highly acclaimed OMR (six lanes and has a toll booth) has knee deep water. 15 min of rain and this is the status.
यहाँ रोड में खड्डे नहीं है। खड्डे में रोड है .
the ECR is no better either. it has no footpath. one has to walk in flooded portions else he could be mowed down by a speeding bus / water tanker.
and, interestingly, no one complains.
people here are, donno what to say!
the roads are dug to accommodate underground drains and these channels are above the ground level. when authorities get to know that it was wrongly designed and not serving purpose, they will, may be, shell out more money to repair and dig again. sustained employment, you see!
the city has quite a bit of roads with road divider in the middle. yet, half the traffic is in the wrong direction, because 'U' turn is far off.
The buses stop in the middle lane of OMR for the passengers to get off / get in.
The share autos take a turn just about anywhere. no rules.
there is no hotel which serves dal-chawal, chapati-dal at night.
This is going to be endless list of complaints of a person who is an immigrant in this city.

why cant people here complain to get there city back in order ?

this is the answer i get : if city is in order, there will be more immigrants and may be that cant be tolerated.
