What do the residents of Dharavi think about these tours?
We are extremely sensitive and respectful about the dignity, privacy and feelings of the residents. We speak to the people of the places where we go, explain what we do and our relationship with other non-governmental organizations. In order to minimize this invasion on the residents’ territory, we ask tourists not to take pictures and we only operate small group sizes . The response from the residents has been either overwhelmingly positive, or they are far too busy to worry about us.
