On Monday, hundreds of residents from Dharavi, a densely populated area in Mumbai, protested against the Dharavi redevelopment project (DRP), specifically targeting a clause that disqualifies residents with second homes from receiving housing under the ₹96,000-crore (approximately $11.5 billion USD) redevelopment plan. The protest was organized by the Dharavi Bachao Andolan and led by Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad. Protesters expressed that the 2024 government resolution (GR) unfairly penalizes families who have grown and acquired additional homes outside Dharavi. Nisar Master, a long-time resident, emphasized the right to aspire for better living conditions, questioning the fairness of the eligibility criteria. The Slum Rehabilitation Authority CEO, Dr. Mahendra Kalyankar, met with protest representatives but did not directly address the GR. He mentioned ongoing efforts to resolve eligibility issues and plans for special drives to assist residents with documentation and case evaluations. The protest underscores significant concerns regarding housing rights and the impact of government policies on local communities.
