MHADA Gains Power to Declare Cessed Buildings Unsafe

The Maharashtra government has passed a new law that gives MHADA the power to declare old buildings in South Mumbai as unsafe.

These buildings, called cessed buildings, were built before 1969 and need repairs.

The law helps speed up the process of rebuilding these unsafe buildings.

First, the landlord gets a chance to rebuild.

If they don't, the tenants can try.

If neither does, MHADA will take over.

The law also allows MHADA to rebuild without needing everyone's permission.

However, there are still some legal disputes that might slow things down.
