Who says we are rude?

- The first one to reach the blast site and do the rescue operations were the nearby slumwallas
- Locals staying around the blast site helped in whatever way they could. They opened up their doors for people who couldn't go to their homes coz of suspension of train services.
- The whole night people in vehicles who were travelling on the western exp highway, offered lifts to strangers to drop them home.


- Local residents offered food & water to commuters.
- BEST deployed additional buses to ply whole night. In many buses, they didn't charge people.
-People lined up in hospitals to donate blood. There is a shortage of blood in the city.
- Strangers offered mobiles to commuters to call their home and inform about their safety. They didn't take any money from them.

And yet they bill Mumbai as the rudest city.
