Samir Netto points to notice that says Koliwada will be demarcated

Locals thick in the hurly-burly of Worli gaothan and Koliwada, both in the same locality, living on prime real estate near the South Mumbai mouth of the Bandra-Worli sea link, are delighted by the fact that their area is being 'demarcated' by officials from the Collector's office in Mumbai. The demarcation began on November 12, they said. So it means officials are marking the outer boundaries of what is known as Worli Koliwada or Worli Village.'

Delight
Several pillars and posts on the periphery have been marked with a circle having a red cross inside. Samir Netto, Worli gaothan resident, said, "We fervently hope this means we will be freed of the fear of being classified as slums and slum dwellers and have a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project foisted on us."
