While residents of Mulund have started opposing the plan to rehabilitate Dharavi residents in Mulund, Dharavi residents, too, are opposed to the plan to move them. The state cabinet has decided to rehabilitate the residents of Dharavi who are not eligible for the Dharavi rehabilitation project in Mulund. The state government has decided to use 64 acres of Mulund to rehabilitate eligible families for the Dharavi rehabilitation project. The state government has demanded the land of Octroi Naka and the Mulund dumping ground from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in order to take the project forward.
