Satam’s Demand for Slum Redevelopment

Currently, the self-redevelopment scheme—supported by Mumbai Bank—empowers housing societies to take charge of their own redevelopment projects. MLA Satam argued that this successful model should be applied to slum clusters too, where projects often face delays and disputes.

“The self-redevelopment policy, successfully implemented in housing societies through Mumbai Bank, should now be extended to the redevelopment of slum buildings as well. The 286 slum buildings in Chandivali should be redeveloped through this policy,” Satam said.

Bringing Government to the People

Satam assured locals that the BJP intends to take governance closer to citizens. “We will take the government to the doorsteps of Mumbaikars,” he said, adding that Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis will be approached soon with this demand. He also confirmed the backing of Pravin Darekar, BJP’s group leader in the Legislative Council and Chairman of Mumbai Bank.

Why This Matters for Mumbai

If implemented, extending the self-redevelopment policy to SRA projects could fast-track the redevelopment of slum buildings across Mumbai, improving living standards for lakhs of residents. For Chandivali alone, the redevelopment of 286 SRA buildings could drastically improve housing quality, civic amenities, and infrastructure.
