Govandi

Govandi is the suburb of Mumbai . It is also a railway station on Central Railway's Harbour Line route.
Govandi has excellent infrastructure, with connectivity to Sion-Trombay Highway on the Eastern side. Deonar Village is adjacent to the Sion-Trombay Highway. The Telecom Factory road towards Deonar Village has modern housing complexes. The Indian Institute of Population Sciences is also located in the same vicinity. The lush green belt is also home to a few corporate houses such as Spanco BPO, Lakme, USV Ltd. etc.
Govandi (West), however, is in stark contrast to Govandi (East). Govandi (West) hosts India's (supposedly) largest abattoir. It is very dirty. Govandi (West), which also houses Deonar, has most government staff colonies. One of them is Teachers colony (for Municipal school teachers). Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai has about 90% of staff quarters here. Govandi (West) also houses a few cottages and small scale industries. It also housed 600 Tenaments, with the New Deonar Municipal Colony having the biggest compound in Mumbai.
The notable landmark for Govandi (West) are the Deonar Municipal Colony, Deonar Slaughter house, Shivaji Nagar, Baigan Wadi, Tata Nagar and Hindustan Bialogicals.
