Urban problem solving - Introduction


In our daily life in the mega city of Kolkata, problems almost start cropping up right from the morning. Though living in a metro city has its advantages, nearly every individual citizen of the city has to face varying degrees of problems.

The problems arise in the most unexpected manner and in the least expected areas. In the morning one may wake up to find that due to leakage in the flash tank, all the water in the overhead tank got exhausted. Thus, no water is available even for basic needs. You will need a plumber right away, but in Kolkata that is not so easy. 




Pleading may get you God in this city, but getting a plumber required to fix the problem is a herculean task. Even if you stay in the heart of the city, finding the right guy is as difficult as in the suburbs. Worse, it may so happen that suddenly one fine morning our great Kolkata Municipality Corporation stops supply of drinking water without proper notice in advance.
