Bombay High Court Urges State to Lead Slum Rehabilitation on Its Land
The Bombay High Court directed the state government and public bodies to implement slum rehabilitation projects on their own land to avoid prolonged delays caused by disputes between slum dwellers and developers. The court cited the nearly 20-year delay in redeveloping Siddharth Nagar in Chembur as an example. It ordered the Slum Rehabilitation Authority's CEO to decide within six weeks on challenges to the current developer's appointment and suggested that if necessary, the state should take over the project to ensure timely execution.
