October 12, 2017 - London, UK. 12th October 2017. A man holds a poster written with the help of his 8 year old daughter at the Die-In vigil and protest by Stop Killing Cyclists outside Kensington & Chelsea Town Hall after the killing by a HGV of a young 36 year old woman at Chelsea Bridge last week, the second cyclist killed by a HGV in the borough this year. Kensington & Chelsea is one of the worst London boroughs in opposing plans for protected cycle lanes, bus-stop cycle by-passes and 20mph speed limits and have failed to build even a single metre of protected cycle lane, forcing cyclists including children and pensioners to share the roads with HGVs and buses. The protest demanded the council end its disgraceful opposition to safer cycling schemes, that TfL redesign the Chelsea Bridge junction where 36 accidents were reported last year to meet 'Go Dutch' standards and that the Transport minister introduce the long demanded regulations for safer HGV design, legislate urgently to get unsafe HGVs off our roads, and issue the commencement order allowing TfL to fine lorries and other vehicles that illegally drive into mandatory cycle lanes.

Slumdog posties
Mr B.S Jaiswar, Postmaster of Dharavi Post Office. He has been in post for two and a half years of a 4 year tenure. This is his first 'command' of a delivery office though he worked in a lesser position in one in Mumbai Central East district. By comparison this area has many more challenges. He says 'If you think of the Dharavi postmen in terms of the armed forces then they are the Special Forces, the elite commando's who tackle the most difficult work in the most challenging conditions. Even the police come to them if they need to trace an address in Dharavi. They have to work harder than any other postmen'
The Dharavi Post office is the sole delivery office for
Dharavi, one of Asia's biggest slums housing somewhere between 600, 000 and a million or more people in a packed area of .67 square miles. The 20 postmen attached to the office go out in two shifts: 10 postmen in the morning and 10 in the afternoon, on individual beats that they know intimately. Such is the complexity of Dharavi's maze-like lanes that it takes a postman 6 months to learn the basics of his beat and up to 2 years to fully master it. The challenges are unique in Dharavi where many dwellings have no numbers and addresses are often simply the addressee's name followed by just 'Dharavi'. The postmen walk around 8 kilometres (nearly 5 miles) on a shift and much of that is difficult, hazardous walking over water pipes, broken paving, open sewers and up and down narrow unsafe stairs.

A view over the rooftops of the Dharavi slums.The Dharavi Post office is the sole delivery office for Dharavi, one of Asia's biggest slums housing somewhere between 600, 000 and a million or more people in a packed area of .67 square miles. The 20 postmen attached to the office go out in two shifts: 10 postmen in the morning and 10 in the afternoon, on individual beats that they know intimately. Such is the complexity of Dharavi's maze-like lanes that it takes a postman 6 months to learn the basics of his beat and up to 2 years to fully master it. The challenges are unique in Dharavi where many dwellings have no numbers and addresses are often simply the addressee's name followed by just 'Dharavi'. The postmen walk around 8 kilometres (nearly 5 miles) on a shift and much of that is difficult, hazardous walking over water pipes, broken paving, open sewers and up and down narrow unsafe stairs.

An example of a poorly addressed letter that will pose a challenge to the postmen of Dharavi. Despite the challenges 90% or ordinary letters are eventually delivered to the correct person. 'Kumbharwada' on the letter means the area of potters, so the postman will head to that area and begin asking for the addressee. But the road of the potters is 1.5 km long and is covered by 4 different postmen's beats, so if one postmen fails to find it on his beat he will hand it onto another the next day who will try to deliver it and so on until the letter either reaches the addressee or the letter is returned to the RLO (Returned Letter Office).
