In recent developments, the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) has announced the lottery process for the allotment of 8,205 low-cost houses across Mumbai.
According to reports, the advertisement for the application process would be released on August 23 and the computerised draw would be held on October 14 this year. Moreover, these homes are to reside in areas like Virar, Mira Road, Shirdhon, Khoni, Gotheghar and Vengurla.
Speaking about the same, Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad said that the majority of the houses have been set aside for the weaker sections of society. “We have kept 97% of the houses for the economically weaker section (EWS) and the lower income group (LIG),” said Awhad. “The entire computerised lottery system would be held in a transparent manner,” he added.
On the other hand, the Konkan division of MHADA has decided to vacate around 9,000 houses on the occasion of Dussehra. The lottery includes 6,500 houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 2,000 under the Konkan Mandal Housing Project and 500 houses under the 20 per cent scheme. Like the Mumbai division of MHADA, leaving the Konkan division was also stalled for the last three years. In 2018, it was leaving for 9,018 houses.
Nitin Mahajan, Chief Officer, Konkan Mandal told that the advertisement for this project will be published soon. These houses will be for the very low, low and middle-income group. The houses will be located at Mira Road, Vartaknagar in Thane, Bolinge in Virar, Kalyan, Vadavalli and Gotheghar in Thane.
