Dharavi: Review of survey documents of 70,000 tenements set to kick start

The survey is being conducted to determine the eligibility of the residents and businesses of Dharavi for rehabilitation, considering the redevelopment of the area

The Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) will begin the review of the documents of survey conducted on 70,000 tenements of the residential colony in Mumbai, a process which will take the rehabilitation of the dwellers a step closer to reality.

 

Under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) guidelines, only ground-floor tenements are typically considered eligible for free housing. According to the project’s tender document, residents with ground-floor residential structures built on or before January 1, 2000, will get homes of 350 square feet (sq ft) within Dharavi only. This is 17 per cent more than any other SRA project in Mumbai.
