A working area rather than a place to live. Two appear here — Hojiwala and Narayan — both in the Udhna and Pandesara textile belt. Land within them is allotted to manufacturing units on lease with permitted uses that generally exclude residential occupation, so a purchase is an industrial allotment governed by its own rules rather than an ordinary conveyance. They appear on a residential sheet because address fields carry them. For anyone considering property here, establish first whether it sits inside the estate boundary or in the residential area beside it.
