Without chosen brokers, Mumbai’s individuals have truly likewise had a tough time to acquire their voices listened to and complaints resolved by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, Ramesh claimed.

While simply 54,461 shanty city residents and 9,522 residents staying in chawls and constructions will definitely get properties inside Dharavi in accordance with the present recordsdata, Adani is making ready for costly earnings and an earnings margin that is perhaps as excessive as 434 p.c, Ramesh asserted.
“A November 2023 notification issued by the Maharashtra government provided numerous additional concessions to the Adani group, including higher valuations for Dharavi TDR and a rule that 40% of all TDR used in any construction project in the city must come from Dharavi,” he claimed.
Just previous to it’s readied to shed energy within the political elections on November 20 (the day poll occurs in Maharashtra), the Mahayuti came about overdrive to clear approvals for the job in Dharavi, he asserted.
“This lucrative `revdi` for the Adani Group comes at the expense of millions of Mumbaikars, not just the residents of Dharavi. Does the non-biological PM have any defence for the massive loot that he is orchestrating in full public gaze?” Ramesh claimed.
