Maharashtra Orders Navi Mumbai to Resume Cluster Redevelopment Projects Amid Political Dispute
The Maharashtra Urban Development Department, led by Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, has directed the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) to resume processing five pending cluster redevelopment proposals in Ghansoli and Vashi. This move overrides a freeze imposed by the BJP-led NMMC, which had halted projects citing infrastructure concerns. The redevelopment aims to improve living conditions for 3,260 families residing in cramped flats since 2004. The proposals require further scrutiny and final state approval before implementation, amid ongoing political tensions between Shinde and BJP minister Ganesh Naik.
