The Maharashtra government has decided to frame a new policy in order to redevelop 207 Bombay Development Department (BDD) chawls. The policy will be tabled in the next winter session for the approval of the state legislative council. The BDD chawls are over 93 years old.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said the state government is committed to redevelop the old and dilapidated buildings. “Each family should be rehabilitated by offering satisfactory area. We will start preparing the policy and it will be tabled before the council in the winter session,” said Fadnavis.
The 207 buildings are spread over 93 acres of land in Worli, Dadar (E), Sewri and Lower Parel. Each building has 80 rooms. The buildings fall under the purview of the PWD.
The buildings were constructed in 1920. Most of them are dilapidated and need to be redeveloped as soon as possible. The proposed policy will be applicable to all BDD and BIT chawls, Mhada buildings in the city as well as Rajiv Gandhi Awas Yojana, Indira Gandhi, Shabari, Ramai Awas Yojanas in Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan-Dombivli, Ambarnath and other parts of the state.
The government has the goal of building 11 lakh affordable homes under the policy.
