MMRDA Launches Digital Rehabilitation System, Issues Possession Letters to 94 Garib Nagar Families
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) launched 'e-Punarvasan', a digital Rehabilitation Resettlement system to streamline and verify the allotment of homes to project-affected families. On October 1, 2026, possession letters were issued to 94 eligible slum dwellers from Bandra's Garib Nagar, marking the start of their rehabilitation. The system integrates Aadhaar verification, online surveys, and computerized allotment to enhance transparency and reduce manual processes. Rehabilitation delays had occurred due to occupancy certificate issues, but the process is now advancing with digital monitoring.
