Abstract
Informal service delivery in localities like Bombay Hotel are not possible without the covert compliance of the state. Bombay Hotel is a settlement located next to the Pirana garbage dump on Sarkhej-Narol highway. The residential area of the settlement is spread over about 1 sq.km comprising approximately 25,000 Muslim families. This policy brief examines the absence of the welfare state in the locality, the emergence of informal non-state actors in services provision, and the dynamics of recent state interventions, in order to trace the pathways through which deprivations, conflicts and violence unfold in relation to basic services and infrastructure.
