Residents say the rehab flats are not fit to move into.

Overview

  • - The Mumbai development authority extended the vacate deadline by a week and said demolition will begin only after every family leaves.
  • - Allotted homes at the D-Abero building were reported to have no working lift or water connection, with leaks, wall cracks, and unfinished interiors.
  • - Several families have not received keys or completed required payments for larger-than-eligible flats, with area-difference charges reaching up to ₹25 lakh.
  • - An MMRDA official said teams have started addressing the defects at the new site, with repairs expected next week in coordination with housing agency MHADA.
  • - The double-decker Sewri–Worli link needs both Haji Noorani and Laxmi Sadan cleared for pillar work, and Laxmi Sadan’s demolition that began March 27 is still underway as the project aims to connect the Bandra–Worli Sea Link with Atal Setu.
