Mumbai residents divided over Motilal Nagar redevelopment plans

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Residents of Motilal Nagar in Mumbai are facing uncertainty as a redevelopment project is set to begin. The Bombay High Court has approved a Rs 36,000 crore plan by the Adani group to redevelop the 143-acre area, which includes 3,700 homes. While the government promises to provide new apartments of 1,600 square feet, residents' associations are demanding larger homes, ranging from 2,000 to 3,500 square feet. Discontent among residents is growing as they fear lengthy displacement during construction. Some residents are eager for the redevelopment to start, hoping for a smooth transition without temporary relocation. They suggest that construction could begin on open grounds first, allowing them to move back quickly.
