Yes, they are saying that a host of economic activities such as pottery and leather business in these settlements will be affected unless a proper rehabilitation plan is developed. The area is also home to a host of small-scale industries.

While the builders are warning that the retrospective changes after the terms are fixed for the project would hamper its implementation.

Seeing the locality and its infrastructure development, Dharavi's location would command enough premium to earn profits especially when island city does not have any other land parcel of its size.

Right Jitu,
There needs to be processes set for the clarity and transparency. There needs to be clarity on contractual terms. Responsibilities of the stakeholders developing this node are to be notified beforehand.

Hi,
Dharavi is one of the largest slums in the worlda nd has a population between 600000 and a million. People reside in an area spanning more than 200 acres, extremely close to Mumbai's CBD that is making it very valuable. Realty players are raising concerns on the Maharashtra government's move to redevelop Dharavi slum, spread over 154 hectares in north-central Mumbai, through public-private project model. While they admit Dharavi enjoys locational advantages, as per them, the biggest challenge is social rehabilitation of existing occupants.
