The Spirit of Mumbai

People keep saying that if London n NYC are able to prevent new attacks why not Mumbai!?
To begin with, here's just ONE of the reasons...
Population density:
NYC - 10,630/km2 (urban just 2,098.7/km2)
London - 4,978/km2
Mumbai - 20,694 /km2
How is it possible to keep a tab on even 2% of a city's population with such high density? I'm not even considering the morale of the underpaid and overworked police department.

Another reason could be the corruption that has reached right from the root to the tip of everyday life in India. Much of this fuels the terror attacks in one way or another. Check http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,178227,00.html

Does it mean we have no hope? We do, but it's not a sudden and will not be a sudden improvement. I'm sure the authorities have been able to curb other attacks before they happened. Such things are never covered by the TRP hungry media. The crisis handling capability of the government seems to have visibly improved since 2008, with the emergency response teams being dispatched almost immediately, but there still remains much scope for improvement. The common Mumbaikar is still the best emergency response team that Mumbai has even now. Even though the media salutes the "spirit of Mumbai" after EVERY f@#king attack, they need to realize that a spirit can wear down, wither away. It's the last thing that Mumbai needs... a people with no spirit in the face of crises.
