Slum

Former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray's poll promise to scrap the ambitious project to redevelop Dharavi, the biggest slum in Asia, has sparked a strong response from Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Mumbai Police' Crime Branch has started investigation into the murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique from a new angle - Slum Rehabilitation Authority projects.

A US YouTuber's video of visiting Kusumpur Pahari in Delhi is going viral on social media. In the clip, the YouTuber explores different parts of the slum and shares his candid experience of visiting a place different from the ones he usually visits.

The Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt Ltd (DRPPL), the firm redeveloping Asia's largest slums, on Thursday, performed the groundbreaking ceremony (Bhoomi Poojan) of the Dharavi redevelopment project at the RPF grounds in Matunga.

The redevelopment of one of the largest slums in the world is not just a huge infrastructure project, but is also about restoring dignity to over a million people, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said today.

Several non-government organisations working in Dharavi have pledged their support to the ongoing state government-led survey of informal tenants in Asia's biggest slum and accused non-locals of trying to stall redevelopment.

The Bombay High Court on Friday said the vision should be to make Mumbai a slum-free city and raised concerns about the plight of slum dwellers who become "victims at the hands of private developers".

A 24-year-old man allegedly strangled his teenage wife and later hung himself after a row at their house in a slum in Sector 50 here, police on Monday said.

In a shot in the arm for redevelopment of Asia's biggest slum, a newly formed association of residents of Dharavi and its vicinity has lent its support to ongoing state government-led survey of informal tenements.

A video on Instagram revealed that Pranjoy lives in a Mumbai slum with another person in a small room for ₹500 a month.

The video, which garnered over 4.5 million views, showcased the tight living conditions and Mr Borgoyary's positive spirit, even as he cared for a kitten.

The multi-crore Dharavi slum redevelopment project involves no land transfer to the Adani group but to the Maharashtra government's departments, and the Ahmedabad-based conglomerate, as a project developer

At least two women were killed when a portion of a four-storey structure came crashing down in a slum at Wadala here late on Friday, the BMC Disaster Control said.
