After struggling for years to get basic health and education facilities, the residents of Gorai island will get a maternity home, a school and a new dispensary.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to build the home, school and reconstruct a 100-year-old dispensary. Till 2017, MMRDA was the planning authority for the island. Last year, it handed over the area to BMC, which has made residents hopeful of the change.
