Maharashtra Orders Audits and Inquiries into Alleged Housing Scheme Irregularities

The Maharashtra government has ordered vigilance audits and inquiries into alleged irregularities in housing schemes across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, following claims of a Rs 2,000 crore scam involving misuse of Development Control Regulations. Developers are accused of showing affordable housing in plans but constructing commercial or premium units instead, failing to hand over mandated flats to authorities. The government has issued stop-work notices, initiated policy reviews on slum relocation, and formed committees to investigate these allegations, with officials promising strict action if violations are confirmed.
