Cabinet nod for govt agencies finishing stalled SRA projects

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: Stalled projects of the Slum Rehabilitation Authority can now be taken up and completed by government bodies like the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, City Industrial Development Corporation, Maha Housing, Shivshahi Punarvasan Prakalp and MahaPreit and Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation. HT Image A proposal to this effect was cleared by the state cabinet on Sunday, paving the way for completion of 228 stalled SRA projects with over 218,000 flats. A section of bureaucrats, however, criticised the decision, saying government agencies which have been allowed to take up stalled projects lack the expertise for slum redevelopment. The cabinet also gave sanction to a cluster development project in Thane, the home of chief minister Eknath Shinde.
