At the 12th Lokshahi Din held today at MHADA’s Housing Building in Bandra (East), a long-pending case was finally resolved as a flat allottee received a firm order for possession after two years of delay.

Narendra Nigudkar, a resident of a cessed building under the Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board, was declared eligible for a flat in a 2024 computerized lottery. He had vacated his transit accommodation and completed all formalities, but the developer had not handed over the flat in Antop Hill, Wadala East.

Taking serious note, MHADA Vice President and CEO Sanjeev Jaiswal ordered the developer to appear at MHADA’s office and hand over possession of the flat by 12 noon the next day. This decision brought long-awaited relief to Nigudkar and became a highlight of the day.

Other key cases addressed:

Illegal Construction in Goregaon: A complaint was filed about unauthorized construction in Snehdeep Society’s open space. MHADA ordered immediate action to stop the misuse and asked for an inspection report within seven days.
Stalled Redevelopment in Kalina: For the 12-year delayed redevelopment of Siddhesh Housing Society, members were asked to pass a general body resolution if they wanted MHADA to take over the project. Action would follow once the resolution is submitted.
Repairs in Girgaon Building: A request was made for repair of external pipes and a non-working lift in Durga Devi Society. MHADA ordered urgent repairs under the supervision of the society’s maintenance committee and an inspection report.
Interest Waiver Request in Sambhaji Nagar: An allottee requested a waiver on interest charged due to delayed payment. MHADA said the due amount must be paid and the interest waiver would be considered after legal review.

Of the 8 cases heard, 4 were from the Mumbai Board, 3 from the Building Repairs Board, and 1 from the Sambhaji Nagar region. Citizens reported positive outcomes, reflecting MHADA’s effort to resolve complaints quickly and fairly.
