Mumbai: In a bid to transform the city’s slum landscape, BJP MLA and Mumbai BJP President Ameet Satam has urged the Maharashtra government to extend the self-redevelopment policy—currently applicable to housing societies through Mumbai Bank—to slum redevelopment projects as well.
Speaking at the inauguration of the new office of former corporator and BJP Mumbai North Central District Vice President Ishwar Tayde in Chandivali’s Ward No. 157, Satam highlighted the urgent need for rehabilitation.
“The self-redevelopment policy, successfully implemented in housing societies, should now be extended to slum buildings too. The 286 slum buildings in Chandivali must be redeveloped under this model,” he said.
The event also witnessed a political shift, as hundreds of workers from MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) joined the BJP. BJP Legislative Council group leader and Chairman of Mumbai Bank, Pravin Darekar, was also present.
Satam assured that the matter would be raised with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis soon and expressed confidence that a decision would follow.
