More than 2400 families from tenements of BDD chawls, have shifted to transit camps over the past year. This is less than half of the number of 5104 tenements meant to be relocated in the Phase-I of the relocation process.
While many families from over 16,000 houses will be relocated as part of the BDD redevelopment project, some might opt for rental accommodation on their, and some will shift to their own redeveloped houses as they get ready.
If the scale of the project is not overwhelming enough, the initial experiences of residents at transit camps have added to the worries and anticipation of the people, who have lived in the historic tenements for generations.The BDD chawls residents were asked to shift into brand new transit camps at Worli and Bhoiwada, with promises of 24 hours water supply in the one-room-kitchen flats, which were expected to be better and bigger than their tenements.
