Varun Grover slammed Mumbai’s infrastructure
In a shocking turn of events, a parapet of an elevated under-construction metro train bridge collapsed in Mumbai’s Mulund on February 14, leaving one dead and about three injured. The incident has angered many, who have been questioning the authorities about the lack of basics. Now, stand-up comedian and writer Varun Grover has strongly reacted to the incident.
Varun took to his X account and, while resharing the news, wrote, “Mumbai is the MOST corrupt city in India, probably by a huge margin. The commercial capital of India has the worst roads (have seen village roads in almost every Indian state in the last 2 years and they are better), atrocious urban planning, & complete disregard for human life.”
