[Global Network Report] Indian media reporters took advantage of the waterlogged road conditions in New York and believed that it was "too harsh" on Indian cities. Netizens retorted: New York only happens once, but India has it every year!
Historic heavy rains brought by Hurricane Ida recently hit the northeastern United States. New York City received record rainfall, flooding, and dangerous road conditions. At least 13 people have died. Twitter Abhijit Majumud, who is certified as a reporter for India's "earshot news", posted a video on Twitter on the 3rd of the water accumulation on the streets of New York. The video showed that the roofs of some cars were almost gone. Submerged in water, he captioned: Sometimes I think we are too harsh on Indian cities. ↓
Although some netizens left messages expressing support for Majumude’s remarks, some people still believed that Majumude seemed to be excusing the Indian government. ↓
An Indian netizen said: "No, we are not (harsh). The chaos in New York does not justify the corruption and chaos in our (Indian) cities. We pay taxes to keep our cities afloat."
" It only happened there for a while but in India we face this problem every year and now we are immune to it. "
Another netizen simply asked: "Yours. Meaning...we shouldn't be harsh on Arvind Kejriwal (DelhiChief Minister)?”
However, some people say that New York is not planned that well. ↓
"New York is a mess! Go to Chicago, Dallas, Austin... (it's) better planned."
"Most of New York is old and dirty. Most residential areas They are all old buildings, and there are rats. Cities in India are much better (except Mumbai and Delhi). "
On August 31, local time, heavy rain hit the Indian capital New Delhi , and the roads were seriously flooded, and citizens waded through the water. . ↓
