With 260-odd city slums and chawls remaining in containment zones, down from last's month's 400, the G South ward, which includes areas such as Worli, Lower Parel, Mahalaxmi and Prabhadevi, has hit the milestone of zero slums in containment zones.

The ward was a red zone for the initial few months after the COVID-19 pandemic hit the city in March and April. The ward's slum population was especially affected. The ward, though, continues to have over 275 active COVID cases and 68 of its buildings are still sealed.
