The last few months have seen a series of strange protests in Mulund. Residents here have demonstrated against a proposal to accommodate Project-Affected People (PAP) in their neighbourhood. The proposals are for the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) and a few other civic projects.

While one of the proposed sites is near Kelkar College, which is a small plot for homes for those affected by a few BMC-related projects, the other is a 64-acre parcel, which is land discarded from a nixed dumping ground project and the erstwhile Octroi Naka, which is supposed to house 4 lakh people from Dharavi.
