Mumbai's H East Ward, encompassing Bandra East and parts of Santacruz East, presents a stark contrast between the affluent Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and extensive slum areas. While BKC hosts major corporate offices, consulates, and landmarks, a significant portion of the ward's population, predominantly in slums, faces persistent civic issues like water shortages and waste management problems, highlighting Mumbai's urban disparities ahead of BMC elections.
