Residents of Mulund have decided to meet Chief Minister Eknath Shinde regarding the rehabilitation of Dharavi residents. If the rehabilitation project is not cancelled, residents are contemplating starting a hunger strike. “We have received information under the Right to Information Act that BMC has agreed to give 56 acres of land located in Mulund to the Dharavi Redevelopment Authority (DRA),” said Advocate Sagar Devre, a resident of Mulund.
We have decided to meet the chief minister after the monsoon session. Our demand is clear: the state government should cancel the rehabilitation project in Mulund. If we do not get any assurance from the chief minister, we will consider a hunger strike after discussing it with the other residents. This project can put a heavy burden on Mulund. It will create pressure on the roads, water supply, and health services,” Devre added.
