The Shiv Sena on Wednesday, through its mouthpiece Saamana, asked why people who have raised questions about a small amount of water collecting in Mumbai are silent when Ahmedabad has now turned into a “swimming pool”.

The editorial of Saamana has written about the havoc of monsoon in Maharashtra and many other neighboring districts.

The editorial said that when a little water collects in Mumbai, people start pointing fingers and names of the city at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), but they are silent now when the whole of Gujarat is suffering and Ahmedabad in particular. changed from. a swimming pool”.

The editorial said that though natural disasters should not be politicised, the question remains why it is not the case for every city in the country.

It also wrote that several districts of Maharashtra have been put on alert till July 14. It said the situation was extremely serious and the new government should be prepared to deal with the horrific natural calamity.
