It's caused by incorrect use of templates for Harvard referencing like
Template:Harv.
Some of those errors are caused by a change in Template:Cite book and
similar few months back, when they were changed, so that they don't
produce the anchors on default, because it was often causing invalid
HTML. (This kind of errors can be fixed by adding the parameter
ref=harv to the appropriate citation template.)
The other errors are caused by typos or not understanding how Harvard
referencing works on WP.
And not many people check those errors or know how to fix them (my guess).
I created a (incomplete) list of articles with those errors at
http://svick.aspweb.cz/ (details for Mumbai are at
http://svick.aspweb.cz/Harv2.aspx/Detail/1933) and a user javascript
to show error messages for those errors at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Svick/HarvErrors.js.

tons of e.g.,
<a href="#CITEREFPatelMasselos2003">Patel & Masselos

<a href="#CITEREFMehta2004">Mehta 2004</a>
<a href="#CITEREFHansen2001">Hansen 2001</a>
But no corresponding anchors. One will only get
No such anchor: CITEREFHansen2001
in ones browser. What's the deal?
