DHS data analysis authorities and experts,

I am analyzing INDIA DHS data.

My specific interest is in studying trend of anthropometry measurements of women among slums and non-slums in 8 major cities in NFHS-3 and NFHS-4 Surveys.

NFHS3: I find 'scity' variable which clearly gives data on 8 major cities selected in India. we have slum and non-slum data in these 8 cities. file i am referring is IAIR52FL.

NFHS4: I didn't find clear scity variable in NFHS-4. This survey has 'sdistri' variable. Six cities out of 8 in NFHS-3 have data on slum and non slum status but not all 8.
I am referring IAIR74FL file.

MY questions are
1. Are 'sdistri' in NFHS4 and 'scity' in NFHS-3 are comparable?
2. Where can i get slum information regarding remaining two cities?

Should i refer some different files?

Could you kindly help me to clarify my understanding?
