Dharavi redevelopment to be first major step towards making Mumbai slum-free, says project CEO

The chairman of the Dharavi Redevelopment Authority (DRA) says the government is going to offer unprecedented perks to commercial establishments in the slum city. DRA hopes that the redevelopment of Dharavi — the largest slum in Asia — will give Mumbai a much-needed facelift

In an exclusive interview with News9 Plus, SVR Srinivas, the chairman of DRA, said that Dharavi’s redevelopment will be the first major step towards making Mumbai slum-free. “Dharavi is the largest slum in Asia and the world’s largest redevelopment project. The livelihood is there for more than a century and a half in the heart of Mumbai. So, Mumbai was aspiring to be a slum-free city and Dharavi will be the first major step towards a slum-free Mumbai. That’s how I look at it,” said Srinivas
