Defence Ministry Reduces Construction Restriction Zone Around Juhu Wireless Station
The Union Ministry of Defence has reduced the no-construction zone around the Juhu Signal Transmitting Station from 500 metres to 100 metres, replacing a five-decade-old restriction. This change is expected to enable redevelopment of nearly 200 aging buildings and slum settlements in Juhu, many over 75 years old. The move follows persistent efforts by local representatives including MP Ravindra Waikar and MLA Ameet Satam, and has been welcomed by residents and officials as a long-awaited relief to stalled redevelopment projects.
