He has shifted his family to the nearby Muslim-dominated Rakhial. 8220;I run my business during the day and go back to Rakhial at night,8221; says Mansuri. 8220;One cannot live in a society where all 19 bungalows and four flats are unoccupied,8221; he said.

He still has his name on the electoral rolls of the Asarwa constituency. 8220;I exercised my right to vote in the 2004 parliamentary elections and will cast my vote again in Asarwa,8221; he said. However, his family members have been shifted to the electoral rolls in Rakhial.

Similarly, Jafri8217;s widow, Zakia, has enrolled herself in Surat where she has been living with her eldest son Tanvir. Her younger son and a daughter are in the US.

The Parsi couple, Dara and Rupa Modi, who lost their son in the riots, have also got their names shifted to Vastrapur.
