The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) marked its Eighth Lokshahi Day with enthusiasm at its headquarters in Bandra East. The session was chaired by the Chief Officer of the Mumbai Board and Acting Vice President & CEO of MHADA.
During the event, a complaint was raised about illegal construction on the terrace of Suruchi Cooperative Housing Society in Abhyudayanagar. The complainant highlighted that despite repeated complaints, no action had been taken under the MRTP Act. Concerns were also raised about the potential safety risks posed by the unauthorized construction. The chairperson directed the Executive Engineer to survey the building, prepare a detailed report, and submit it to the Encroachment Removal Cell of the Mumbai Board. A one-month timeline was set for action against the encroachment.
Another grievance involved a delayed allotment under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (Urban). The complainant, who had secured a flat in the Shirgaon Housing Project, Kalyan, through the Konkan Board’s 2018 lottery, had not yet received possession. Upon investigation, the delay was attributed to verification issues on the PMAY (Urban) portal, which had since been resolved. The chairperson instructed officers to ensure immediate possession of the flat.
Four applications were received during the Lokshahi Day event, with two each related to the Mumbai and Konkan Boards. MHADA has so far conducted seven Lokshahi Day sessions, addressing 75 out of 81 applications received.
