In the coming weeks, the Dharavi Redevelopment Project Pvt Ltd (DRPPL) is set to commence the mapping of one of Asia’s largest slum clusters, Dharavi, situated in the heart of Mumbai.
The starting date of the survey, which has been deemed a key component of the task of identifying residents in the slum cluster eligible and ineligible for rehabilitation under the project, will be announced in a few days, S.V.R. Srinivas, Chief Executive Officer of the Dharavi Rehabilitation Project, said.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Srinivas, who was recently appointed as the non-executive chairman of DRPPL by the Maharashtra government, said preparations are underway for the pilot survey, which will be followed by a comprehensive one. “The survey will kickstart in the coming weeks, and the exact date will be announced sometime this week,” he said, adding that its completion will take several months.
