Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis chose the finale election rally to announce bigger homes for slum dwellers through SRA schemes, special plan for the redevelopment of Koliwadas, and a policy to regularise people settled on forest land in the city.

 

Addressing a rally at Somaiya grounds at Chunnabhati on Saturday evening, Fadnavis said that slum dwellers will get 305sqft of homes from the current allotment of 269sqft. “So far Marathi manoos was being evicted from his house under the name of SRA project, from now on the government will undertake these projects so that the original owners of the house are not troubled at all,” said Fadnavis in a half filled ground.

 

He also made many populists announcement like a plan for the redevelopment of Koliwadas in the city and also slums settled on forest land and the airport land will be settled at the same spot.

 

Kolis are the original inhabitants of the city and all political parties have always tried to woo them with different announcements.

 

“We have got permissions to construct 50,000 homes at the airport land so that the slums there can be rehabilitate there,” said Fadnavis.
