They like the new committee for this but want more details, like district-level help and quick approvals.
They also want quicker funding and lower costs for self-redevelopment projects.
Other people think a whole different group should oversee the projects.
Everyone agrees the new plan is a big step forward and needs to happen quickly.
The Maharashtra State Housing Federation wants improvements in the grievance redressal system for redevelopment projects.
They support the new grievance committee but want more clarity on its function and jurisdiction.
