According to reports, State Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad, Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray, Aslam Shaikh as well as senior government officials and MHADA representatives attended the event.
In view of the occasion, Aaditya Thackeray stated, "This moment is important for Mumbai because the BDD Chawl is an integral factor with regards to the fabric of Mumbai. The huts, which provide shelter to two to three generations, will soon take on a new look and the planning of this project will also help in streamlining the urban planning of the city of Mumbai. The Government is committed to fulfilling the dream of tenants/residents of the BDD Chawls for their rightful home.”
The state government had earlier appointed a competent authority and a Deputy Collector (Encroachment/Eviction) Colaba Division, Mumbai City to determine the eligibility of the future residents.
