Maharashtra Government Fixes BDD Chawl Flat Prices for Police Personnel
The Maharashtra government has set new prices for 223 police personnel and their legal heirs to purchase 500 sq ft rehabilitation flats in the redeveloped BDD Chawls at Worli, NM Joshi Marg, and Naigaon. Prices range from Rs 72.25 lakh to Rs 1.48 crore, significantly higher than the Rs 15 lakh charged under a 2022 policy for earlier beneficiaries. Eligible personnel who moved in after January 1, 2011, will receive ownership rights upon payment. The government also directed that 315 remaining flats be handed over to the Mumbai Police Commissioner.
