Reacting to the government policy, Babo Rao Mane, President, Dharavi Bachao Samiti & Ex-MLA Shiv Sena told B&E, “We are totally against it and will wage a war against this injustice. The families residing here should get a minimum of 400 square feet each. We have 1,50,000 families living here, but only 67,000 are getting an apartment, which is unfair to the others.” The builder mafia is ferociously ambitious to grab this prime land (worth $10 billion) and convert the garbage dump into a gold mine. The lure for lucre is so great that foreign builders, Emaar & Al- Nakheel (from Dubai),
an investment fund from New York and our domestic giants Reliance, DLF, Larsen & Toubro, HDIL et al, are vying to have a piece of cake. Talking about the bids, Ashok Kumar Gupta, Director, HDIL said to B&E, “We are looking forward to the bids for rehabilitation of Dharavi slums. We have a strong presence in Mumbai and our company has several on-going slum rehabilitation schemes.” Babo Rao Mane however feels that, “The government has sold out to the builders lobby. Earlier, government said that they will take the consent of 70% people at Dharavi, but then conveniently broke this promise. Government is resorting to dadagiri.”
