BMC Vacates Three More Unsafe Vikhroli Buildings as First Municipal Redevelopment Advances

The municipal plan prioritizes safety with temporary rehousing in PAP flats.

Overview

  • Civic N ward evacuated three C-1 buildings at Parksite on Tuesday, with demolition scheduled.
  • Sixty-seven tenants were shifted to reserved Project-Affected Persons apartments at Oberoi Realty’s Bhandup site.
  • Phase one covers nine dangerous blocks, with five now vacated as the two-phase plan redevelops 28 civic-owned structures.
  • Construction of the S-3 replacement tower has reached 13 of its planned 23 floors, according to BMC data.
  • Some residents objected to the drive and sought larger 650-sq-ft entitlements and formal agreements, while the BMC says 405-sq-ft ownership units will be allotted after completion.
