Mhada lottery at Bandra in Mumbai
MUMBAI: The long awaited redevelopment of the city s Bombay Development Directorate (BDD) chawls finally got off the ground Thursday.
Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) conducted a lottery to allot apartments to eligible tenants of the old, dilapidated structures in Lower Parel.
However the construction of the buildings is yet to begin.
The entire project constitutes the largest resettlement undertaking in the country given the sprawl of these old buildings in South Mumbai.
This particular lottery was drawn for 272 tenants of the five hectare BDD Chawl plot at NM Joshi Marg, Lower Parel.
