While the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) mandated that beneficiaries of the BDD redevelopment project move into their new homes within 15 days of receiving their keys and even got them to sign a no-objection certificate (NOC) stating that they would shift in the stipulated period, many are requesting a deadline extension due to the ongoing festive and religious calendar.
Several residents who recently received possession of their new homes in the redeveloped BDD chawl in Worli have begun interior works, but others are holding off, citing cultural and religious constraints. Key among these is the observance of Pitrupaksha, a 15-day period considered inauspicious by many Hindu families for initiating new projects or moving homes. This began the day after Anant Chaturdashi.
