AAI Radar Relocation Unlocks Land for Affordable Housing in Dahisar
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is moving its high-frequency radar from Dahisar to Gorai in Mumbai.
This move will free up 1,000 acres of land for building affordable homes.
The decision was made after talks between the Civil Aviation Ministry, the Maharashtra government, and other groups.
Over the next five years, about 50,000 homes will be built or redeveloped.
This will help many people who live in old, run-down buildings.
The Maharashtra government will pay for moving the radar.
They are also looking at moving another radar from Juhu to a new site.
This will help with building projects in Dahisar and Juhu.
The goal is to make these areas better places to live with more homes and jobs.
AAI's high-frequency radar in Dahisar, Mumbai, will be relocated to Gorai to free up land for affordable housing.
The decision was made after discussions between the Civil Aviation Ministry, Maharashtra Government, and other stakeholders.
1,000 acres of land will be released for housing projects, aiming to build or redevelop 50,000 homes over five years.
Maharashtra Government will bear the cost of relocation and provide alternative land for the radar.
The relocation will also allow for redevelopment of buildings in Dahisar and Juhu, accelerating urban development in North Mumbai.
