Dharavi Resident Association shows support ahead of redevelopment

The newly formed Dharavi Resident Association has pledged its support for the state government's survey of informal homes in Dharavi, as reported by the source. This development comes ahead of Adani?s $3 billion rehabilitation project aimed at transforming the living conditions for approximately one million residents in Asia's largest slum.

The association has called for the expedited completion of the survey to facilitate timely progress on the redevelopment plan. In a letter to S.V.R. Srinivas, CEO, Dharavi Redevelopment Project/Slum Rehabilitation Authority, the association requested the survey be conducted swiftly to prevent further delays.

The survey, which began on March 18, 2024, has thus far collected data from 10,000 settlements, including residential, commercial, and religious structures. This comprehensive mapping of the 600-acre area is crucial for the redevelopment, which is expected to span seven years. Eligible residents will be offered 350-square-foot flats upon project completion, while others will be relocated within Mumbai.

Genesys International and Buro Happold are responsible for 3D mapping and infrastructure outlining, respectively, while Sasaki Associates Inc. is overseeing the overall project redesign. The residents? association has urged legal action against those obstructing the survey process, emphasizing the need for uninterrupted progress.

Deepak Kaitke, Member, highlighted the necessity of disclosing the master plan details, including relocation plans and timelines for flat availability. Despite opposition from some residents, approximately 30 to 40 survey teams are working through the monsoon season, with plans to increase the number to 100.

The survey is designed to identify residents who can prove their occupancy before January 1, 2000, and will ensure they receive 350-square-foot homes post-development. Adani?s project will also focus on creating a modern transportation system and eco-friendly infrastructure to enhance residents' earning capabilities and job opportunities. (Source: PTI& Mint )
