In Mumbai, residents of Haji Noorani Chawl in Elphinstone district are resisting eviction attempts by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), which sought to disconnect their electricity supply late Thursday night. The eviction is part of the Sewri–Worli Elevated Corridor project. Residents were given a short notice to vacate by April 24, 2026, but they are requesting an extension until May 30 due to inadequate living conditions in the alternative housing provided. The replacement flats are reported to have issues like termite infestations and leakages, with residents expected to cover repair costs themselves. Local corporator Nishikant Shinde has called for a meeting to address the situation and avoid further coercive actions. MMRDA, however, insists that it only intends to disconnect utilities for those who have already vacated. The project aims to improve connectivity in Mumbai and has seen a reduction in required buildings from 19 to just two, significantly lowering rehabilitation costs from ₹5,200 crore (approximately $630 million USD) to ₹110 crore (approximately $13 million USD). The completion deadline for the corridor is set for December 2026.
