The Most Famous Lal Mitti - Bandra Reclamation Slums, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
The land mass here is slums slums slums and this is the precious vote bank, predominantly Muslims , and mind you there vote matters , they can make you win or lose even by 1600 votes ,,,I am sure Advocate Ashish Shelarji wont forget that if he stands for elections this time ..this is the power of politics , every politician nurtures them , and he does it through his chamchas , his hang ons , and it is a state of survival..the living conditions here are downcast misery , two fires but life goes on , more slums keep coming up, under the nose of the cops , and you dont mess with the vote bank.. Mumbai is better than a transfer to Gadchiroli..
Now at the moment there is quietude , lassitude but come elections freebies , money will change hands and election time is great photography time too,.
