I am a tenant of a lodge in the prime locality of Dharavi and I like the area so much for its
natural life. There are many shopping malls in the locality like Kalazo shopping mall, D Mart, and many more. The area has many hospitals like V. Sai Hospital, Family Cares Hospital, and
many more. The commuting system of the area is very sound and positive and the serviceability of local traffic is very positive.

I am a permanent owner of a little cottage in Dharavi Mumbai. I have been living here with my
mother for more than four years. I would like to point out my opinion about the place Dharavi. A school is close to my area within a walking distance of 1km. The drinking water service is

Tenant
I have rented a small house in the locality of Dharavi in Mumbai city and here I am staying with my grandfather for the last three years. There is a government hospital in our locality and
sometimes I take my grandfather to the hospital for his medical check-up. There is a medicine
store beside the hospital that consists of all basic medicines. But the roads of my locality are not well maintained and the drainage systems are also not good which is problematic.

I am a former resident of a home in Dharavi Mumbai. I have lived here with my parents for more than five years. I have something to add about this place, Dharavi. The Medicine store is near to my location and all the basic medicines are available at the store. The grocery market is close to my area within 1km. The main problem with the place is that power cuts happen most of the time.

There is police station in near distance and police officers do a petroling at night time. And now a days all slums are getting converted into towers and buildings and we can get flats on rent on affordable prices. There is market area for vegetables mainly in Shahu nagar walking distance and bus stand are near and easily available. There is also a taxi stand . Hospital such as sion, ayush, sai are at walking distance. Water service is good and no such water and electricity cutt off is hardly seen. Kamraj school and junior collage is there for science and commerce
There is problem related to parking. And less schools are available and area specially of kumbhar wada is little polluted
