Dharavi Redevelopment Project: 65% Residents Eligible for Housing
Imagine a big project to build new homes in Dharavi.
A list has been made to see who gets the new houses.
About 65% of the people in one area are eligible.
Some will get homes right where they live, and others will get new homes nearby.
People who don't have all the needed papers can still try to get approved.
The project will give bigger homes than other projects in Mumbai.
People who built homes after 2000 will also get help.
This is a step forward to give everyone safe housing.
The second Draft Annexure-II has been published for the Dharavi Redevelopment Project.
Approximately 65% of residential structures in Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Nagar are eligible for housing benefits.
201 families qualify for in-situ rehabilitation within Dharavi.
131 tenement holders will receive accommodation outside Dharavi.
Those ineligible can still appeal before the final Annexure-II is published.
