The “strange” slum strategy of the Maharashtra government promotes encroachment on both public and private lands : Mumbai HC

The Maharashtra government’s slum policy, which converts private and public lands into free tenement for encroachers after they are recognized as slum rehabilitation areas, was called “strange” by the Bombay High Court on Tuesday.

The court stated that nowadays we would not be faced with the issue of an international city like Mumbai being known for its slums on private and public land if the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) and the “official machinery was to act as per law.”
