Ruby,
In these summer months preceeding the monsoons.........most folk on
the west coast including Mumbai are lucky to get 2 hours of water in
their systems to recharge their containers ........what chance is there
for water to be in the fire hydrant system. Supposedly even the fire
services vehicle that turned up at the Carlton towers in Bangalore with
a 20 foot ladder ( to service a 9 storey building ? ) had no water
with it.
If you expect world class systems from any Indian city you must
be kidding yourself.
While India tells us of their "shining" example of economics , their
standards in most people conveniences just does not exist.
