H/West ward is a microcosm of Mumbai, with its mixed bag of inhabitants. The ward consists of tony areas like Bandstand (home to Shah Rukh Khan and other celebrities) as well as the fishing village of Khar Danda. But not all is hunky dory in the Queen of suburbs. Bad roads, encroachments, water leakages, bad sewerage links, poor connectivity, traffic, illegal construction, water contamination are issues that plague this area.

This ward has quite a few reputed churches, colleges, hospitals and restaurants that draw people from across the city. While parts of the ward have been traditional Christian localities, others are predominantly Muslim - local corporators represent these demographics. But there are a few problems peculiar to this ward.
