Mumbai rehouses 97,000+ families since 1995

Since 1995, the Slum Rehabilitation Authority in Mumbai has given homes to over 97,000 families who were affected by different projects.

These homes are built by developers as part of slum redevelopment, where they have to build extra flats for people who are moved from slums.

The cost for each home is Rs 12.5 lakh.

Recently, 95 homes were given to people affected by the Thane Borivali Twin Tunnels project, and 135 more are being built.

Additionally, 111 homes were given to people who were living inside the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, where many families have been waiting to move for a long time.

Officials say there are still thousands of people living in the park who need to be relocated.
