Overview
- The mission, announced Monday by Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, revives the state-run Shivshahi agency through special purpose vehicles with private builders to take over stalled schemes.
- Shinde told the Slum Rehabilitation Authority and key planning and civic bodies to clear long-pending cases and speed up ongoing rehabilitation work.
- Redevelopment will prioritize large clusters over 50 acres with a majority slum footprint, using biometric verification and agreements with agencies to map residents and coordinate execution.
- Authorities will deploy the NETRAM system to scan high-resolution satellite images every four months, flag new encroachments, and trigger enforcement.
- Eligible residents will receive 300 sq ft rehabilitation flats, with older, smaller allotments set for upgrades to the new standard.
