Dharavi Redevelopment Advances with Demolitions and Resident Evictions in Sector 6
The Dharavi Redevelopment Project in Mumbai's Sector 6 is progressing with demolition and rehabilitation efforts. Approximately 379 structures have been demolished and 890 tenements vacated, while around 2,200 homes have been cleared overall. Some residents have resisted eviction, leading to police-protected removals and issued notices. Authorities report most residents have engaged in rehabilitation agreements or hearings, with construction of a 36-storey building underway for railway employees. The project aims to complete clearance by the end of the monsoon season.
