The Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) has been authorised to survey all slums in Mumbai and Thane by the Maharashtra government after six years of geographic information system (GIS) mapping.
The SRA will now appoint officers for various zones across the city to carry out the survey and issue eligibility certificates to slum dwellers for free housing, as per a gazette notification issued last Thursday.
The Dharavi redevelopment project (DRP) has failed to take off in 17 years despite being declared a vital infrastructure project, a slum survey will be conducted afresh in Dharavi also.
SRA chief executive officer Satish Lokhande, said bringing the survey of all slums under the SRA ambit will decrease delay.
