Even as plans for a major memorial and public institute in Chirag Nagar, Ghatkopar, move closer to execution, Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) officials insist they will not forcibly evict residents protesting the project, saying relocation will proceed only with consent, even as the redevelopment remains stalled and uncertainty grips the neighbourhood.

Meanwhile, information accessed by mid-day reveals the full scope of the redevelopment project planned for the area and the public infrastructure proposed for locals. Classified as a Vital Project under the SRA and backed by a government resolution for funding, the project is said to be ready for execution once residents vacate the plot.
