BJP MLA Urges Extension of Redevelopment Policy
A BJP MLA wants to help people living in old, falling-apart buildings in Mumbai's suburbs.
He's asking the government to extend a special policy designed to help fix up similar buildings.
This policy helps by allowing quicker redevelopment and providing relief to residents.
He believes this extension will make sure families can live safely and get help when they need it.
It also simplifies the process and reduces the amount of agreement needed from residents.
BJP MLA Mihir Kotecha wants the redevelopment policy extended to suburban buildings.
The request addresses delays in redeveloping dilapidated buildings.
Kotecha suggests applying specific MHADA Act sections.
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development (Amendment) Act 2020 aims for streamlined redevelopment.
Extending the policy would benefit families in suburban areas.
