Mumbai’s Slum Redevelopment scheme way behind schedule
Maharashtra government’s initiative of making Mumbai a slum-free city by 2015 is way behind the schedule with hardly 1.5 lakh houses constructed over the past 14 years against the targeted 8 lakh. The Rs 32,000-crore Slum Redevelopment Authority scheme was introduced in 1995 by the then Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party government with a view to rehabilitate millions of slum—dwellers in the city. The global economic downturn resulted in an overall slowdown in several redevelopment projects of the state government, including the SRA scheme and the Dharavi Development Project, Mr. Kunte said. “However, the department is hopeful that with the economy showing signs of recovery, more private developers will come forward,” Mr. Kunte said, adding the government is only a facilitator and more public—private-partnership is required for the execution of the projects.
