VOTERS MAKE THEIR VOICE HEARD

With Mumbai to vote on May 20 to elect six members of Parliament, citizens groups are responding to the promises made by candidates with their own manifestos.

The oldest residents of Mumbai gaothans have announced their manifesto. An old demand has been special provisions under the Development Plan 2014-2034 for gaothans and koliwadas. The lack of demarcation places these areas at a disadvantage compared to slums, which enjoy higher floor space index, they said. The residents have also asked for a ban on implementation of Slum Rehabilitation Authority schemes in the arthe inhabitants of eas.

"Our demands have been consistently denied. We are worried that if our gaothans are not demarcated they will be declared as slums," said lawyer Godfrey Pimenta of the citizens group Watchdog Foundation, which released the manifesto for the gaothans.
