The Bombay East Indian Association wants the state government to demarcate and list missing gaothans in the city's blueprint for the next two decades — Development Plan 2034. The community will hold a meeting to address the representatives of these gaothans to educate them about the disadvantages of not being part of the DP.

Experts on urban planning, heritage and legal issues will also address the grievances of these citizens in a meeting to be held on Sunday at Andheri east. It is after this meeting, that the community will appeal to the government to consider their homes for what they really are, instead of sidelining them in the developmental blueprint.
