Survey for Dharavi redevelopment project to begin on March 18

“The survey is the first step towards making Mumbai slum-free. It is the beginning of transforming Dharavi into a worldclass township. We urge all people to support this exercise, which will enable us to execute the rehabilitation process and ultimately provide them with their dream home,” said a DRPPL spokesperson.

The survey will begin from Kamla Raman Nagar, by giving a unique number to each informal tenement. A trained team will visit every tenement and scan documents with an indigenously developed application.

A statement issued by the company said that the DRP scheme will provide houses to each and every informal tenement holder.

The DRPPL has engaged foreign city and infrastructure planning experts — US-based design firm Sasaki and UK-based town planners Buro Happold — to design the project.
