The state government is building castles in the air in the name of slum rehabilitation scheme, shows the official figures. Only eight per cent of the slums have been redeveloped in the past 10 financial years. Activists alleged that many projects are stuck, mostly in small pockets, because developers didn’t find them financially viable
The authorities had redeveloped 1,53,635 houses before the census of 2011, according to the Maharashtra Economic Survey 2022-23, which was recently tabled in the state assembly. The census of 2011 showed that the city had over 11 lakh (11,35,514) houses in the slum settlements across. Thereafter, between 2012-13 and 2022-23, only 91,660 of these houses were redeveloped under the scheme
