The island city is already bursting at the seams. There is a lot of water-logging during monsoon, traffic jams are perennial, and yet, the government wants to increase the FSI without assessing its impact. This is akin to strangulating the city. The noose is tightening, and the city is likely to die a painful death unless something very drastic is done. First, it should provide adequate infrastructure to existing residents and create surplus infrastructure. Only then can the increase in FSI be justified.
