Dharavi redevelopment project starts housing eligibility from April 1

The second phase of a door-to-door survey of Dharavi residents to determine eligibility for free housing would commence on April 1, starting from the Kamla Raman Nagar area. It was stated that on March 18, a survey had initiated in Dharavi wherein the residents received unique identification numbers for their homes. Following this, laser mapping of the respective lanes had been conducted. In the ongoing phase of the survey, surveyors from Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRPPL) were said to be visiting all structures with the unique identification numbers. They were tasked with collecting documents related to the buildings from the tenants. It was further mentioned that the documents would be scanned on the spot and then returned to the tenants. Subsequently, the scanned papers would be registered in the centralized system pertaining to the Dharavi survey, with unique numbers. Regarding the Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt Ltd, it was explained to be a joint venture between Adani Realty and the state government, formed to undertake the redevelopment of Dharavi. Additionally, it was noted that the survey, expected to conclude in eight months, would contribute to the creation of 'Digital Dharavi,' serving as an advanced library of one of the world's largest informal settlements.
