Mumbai’s Potholes & Traffic: Can One Agency Fix It? | India Today Conclave 2025 Mumbai

Video Description

At the India Today Mumbai Conclave, experts discussed Mumbai’s major civic problems like potholes, traffic jams, and flooding. They pointed out that over 20 government bodies handle the city’s planning, causing confusion and blame games. A key idea was to create one accountable planning agency to fix this. They noted that before 2014, only 11 kilometers of metro were built in 11 years, showing slow progress. A government official claimed Mumbai is improving, but questions were raised about whether new infrastructure mainly helps contractors and car owners or all residents. The panel called for a practical 20-year plan and more input from citizens to make Mumbai more livable. They also debated whether a Chief Minister’s war room or a single agency like the BMC works better, and suggested an elected mayor, like in New York or London, to lead the city, especially with BMC elections coming up. #mumbai #mumbaisinking #mumbairising #mumbaiinfra #potholes #mumbaitraffic #urbanplanning #bmc #mmrda #singleplanningagency #indiatodayconclave #mumbaiconclave #rajdeepsardesai #varunsardesai #ashishshelar #citygovernance #mumbairains #urbandevelopment #singleplanningauthority #electedmayor #civicengagement #mumbaipolitics #bmcelections #devendrafadnavis #indiatoday SUBSCRIBE to India Today Conclave so you don't miss any session and make sure to enable Push Notifications, so you'll never miss a new video.
