I visited these kids ( known to me ) at thier slum houses located along railway tracks, when i came to know thier slums were demolished. As usual periodically thier illegally built shanties get demolished by BMC squad and later once again these slum dwellers has to pick up bits of left over bamboos and clothes to rebuilt thier huts. These kids, though they put up brave smiling faces but I could sense thier sadness seeing thier huts pulled down and has to live on open under scorching sun till a roof comes up over their shanties. Once I asked Gul ( girl on left of pic) what she would like to become when she grows up, she replied she would like be a police officer so that she could stop her hut from being pulled down @rajennair #slums #slumdemolition #slumdwellers #demolition #shanties #housing #everydaymumbai #gettyimages #gettyreportage #reportage #reportagespotlight #24hoursproject #streetphotography #children #girls #mumbai (at Shiv shrusti ground)
