Indian cities no longer suffer from a lack of plans, funds or policy frameworks. Most of our cities have rich municipal coffers. But same cannot be said of the civic infrastructure or quality of its services delivery to the citizens.The cities have been undone by the collapse of political and policy accountability and the quiet burial of moral urgency over time. What citizens endure today cannot be attributed to mere bureaucratic inefficiency. It is no better than abandonment, and worse, the normalisation of that abandonment as civic destiny.
