SRA Issues Notice to Bandra Developer Over Permanent Transit Camp Plan Deviations
The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) has issued a notice to NVK Realty LLP for allegedly deviating from approved plans in constructing permanent transit camp (PTC) tenements on six floors of a 22-storey luxury tower in Bandra, Mumbai. The building, on the site of actor Mala Sinha's former bungalow, was to include PTC units handed over to the SRA as per Regulation 33(11) of DCPR 2034. PTCs serve as temporary housing for project-affected persons, enabling developers to gain additional development rights. The case highlights challenges in implementing slum rehabilitation policies amid Mumbai's real estate growth.
