Dharavi Redevelopment: Residents Seek Survey Inclusion
The Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) is trying to make Mumbai slum-free.
People are now more interested in being part of the project.
Many are calling a special phone line to ask about the survey.
They want to get their homes included.
Even places that were against it before, like Kumbharwada, are starting to participate.
The project helps people get new homes, important services, and better living conditions.
More residents are contacting the helpline to join the Dharavi Redevelopment Project's (DRP) household survey.
The helpline received approximately 700 calls in the last month, with 41% related to door-to-door survey inquiries.
Some communities initially resisted the survey but are now participating.
The helpline handles inquiries about eligibility verification, timelines, housing unit details, and awareness campaigns.
The DRP aims to rehouse over 10 lakh residents with formal housing and infrastructure.
