Mumbai: Mhada may come under huge renovation of Motilal Nagar Housing Colony in Goregaon (West). The plan was purposed during the Mhada meeting. The Mhada spreads over 125 acre, comprising 3,700 tenements which was build three decades ago. Under the redevelopment scheme every family is entitled to get 600 s ft flat free of cost.

The colony can use the remaining land to construct more 32,000 affordable flats. If the plan gets the Govt nod, this will be the first time that Mhada will redevelop its property instead of handing it over to a private Realtor. But the families fear of developers using political lobby to scuttling the project as the stakes are very high.

The Bombay High Court is hearing a PIL against the colony of having over 6,000 illegal buildings. Many residents have internally carried out horizontal and vertical extensions without prior permission the PIL also said. The court had asked the authorities to survey and presents a detailed report.
