Will scrap Dharavi redevpt project after coming to power: Uddhav

 

 

 

SHIV Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said, the Dharavi slum redevelopment project tender awarded to industrialist Gautam Adani’s firm will be scrapped if his party comes to power in Maharashtra. Addressing a press conference, Thackeray said his party will ensure Dharavi residents and businesses are not uprooted, adding that people staying there must be given 500 square feet houses in the locality itself. “We will scrap Dharavi slum redevelopment project tender after coming to power.

 

The Government should give an answer as to why it should not be scrapped now itself. We will not allow Mumbai to be turned into Adani city,” the former Chief Minister said. Additional concessions that are not specified in the contract have been given to the Adani Group in the project to redevelop Dharavi, one of the world’s densest urban sprawls, Thackeray claimed.
