Prasad Lad, chairman of the state housing authority's repair and reconstruction board, has proposed to rename Dharavi and Mazgaon transit camps to draw attention away from their locations
What’s in a name? We asked the chairman of MHADA’s repair and reconstruction board, Prasad Lad, who has been trying get permission for the rechristening of two of the state housing agency’s transit camps in the city lately. The two camps that he wants renamed are located in Dharavi and Ferbandar, Mazgaon respectively.

According to officials, residents of cessed buildings in south Mumbai are always unwilling to move to the transit camp in Dharavi (above), because the area has the status of a slum. Pic/Rane Ashish
