After the housing authority stated that it would not stop construction despite prolonged protests against the Dharavi Redevelopment Project by residents, the contractor has decided to suspend work within a month after receiving threats
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) which had earlier refused to be swayed by the demands of the Dharavi Bachao Andolan (DAB) has finally succumbed to the pressure and stopped the construction work at Sector-5 in Dharavi, within just a month of commencement. The construction is part of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, which was being opposed by residents demanding an increase in the proposed space allotment per tenement.
