Damu Nagar in Kandivli is located barely 10 km off the Western Express Highway with its shiny Swachh Bharat hoardings. Dilip Kagda Damu Nagar in Kandivli is located barely 10 km off the Western Express Highway with its shiny Swachh Bharat hoardings. Sixty-eight-year-old Nigamma Waghmare, who has been a resident of Damu Nagar for 25 years, says the lone toilet located inside the slum is never cleaned, compelling them to look for alternatives. Damu Nagar is part of Ward 25 in R South Ward, while the area around it is under Ward 23. The problem is definitely serious but the civic administration has not taken any interest in the welfare of the people in Damu Nagar,” she says.
