A balloon seller goes around the narrow bylanes of Dharavi selling her wares. Dharavi in Mumbai spread over 217 hectares is Asia's largest slum, an uncontested claim. According to Government estimate 5.7 lakh people stay in this 217 hectares, hence Dharavi's density will be 2,63,020 persons per square kilometer. These people stay in abject poverty and have very little or no access to clean water, sanitation or proper medical care.
