Mumbai Congress President and Dharavi MLA Varsha Gaikwad, on Friday, urged the state government that the timeframe to sell slum rehabilitation authority (SRA) houses be reduced to five years.

At present, the rule states that people cannot sell the houses allotted in the SRA scheme for 10 years. A bill to amend the rule and bring the duration down to seven years is slated to be tabled in the assembly in the ongoing winter session.
