Residents of Mulund East have united to oppose a massive rehabilitation program, fearing it will further strain the area's already limited resources. “Mulund currently houses 1.5 lakh people. With an influx of 3.5 lakh Dharavikars and 40,000 project-affected persons (PAPS), there will be little left for us locals,” informs Mulund-based real estate agent Deepak Date.
