All forty-four survivors of the Irsalwadi landslide-affected villages received the keys to their much-awaited rehabilitation homes. While most of them shifted to their new homes from the makeshift containers turned homes after the landslide, a few are likely to shift by the coming weekend.
The keys were handed over on October 11 by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at a function in Navi Mumbai. While some villagers are excited about getting concrete houses, others say that the original house (on the foothills of Irsalwadi) had multiple rooms and they had just renovated their homes before the landslide and had lost all their savings. Some of them now await jobs, as promised by the district administration.
