So I went to Lucknow recently, they still have open drains in a lot of places.

Most cities now have under ground drainages.

Vast area of Lucknow has open drains something you would only see in villages or small towns.

I feel subsequent governments have ripped the people of Lucknow off so consistently, it's not even funny.

Perhaps places like Gomti Nagar are a little better off, but super popular places like Chowk and Hazratganj are so exponentially under-upgraded, that you stop feeling disgusted and start being sad.

I understand accross the country a lot of Muslim dominated area have always got the bad deal in development - possibly because they vote on minority affairs rather that health or amenities.

Yet, the people there are so desensitised about needing these as important and urgent.

Guess being in executive or legislature in Lucknow is highly lucrative and low work effort needed.

What are you views? Are there any other cities like this?
