MUMBAI, March 4 -- The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has completed the process of issuing alternative housing to 192 eligible families whose homes fall along the alignment of the proposed 120-foot road adjoining Kandivli's Lokhandwala Township. The demolition of structures obstructing the proposed road will begin in mid-March, after the conclusion of board examinations, at the residents' request, officials said. The project, aimed at easing traffic congestion in the area, is expected to provide residents with an alternative route to the heavily crowded Akurli Road. With the lottery process concluded, relocation of beneficiaries is currently underway. Civic officials said demolition of structures obstructing the proposed road will begin in mid-March after the conclusion of board examinations. "Residents had requested that demolitions be deferred until exams concluded to avoid disruption to students. On humanitarian grounds, the request was accepted," said Aarti Golekar, assistant municipal commissioner of R-South ward. Of the total 310 families, 192 are eligible for rehabilitation locally. Currently, 120 have been allotted homes in the Mahaveer building, 47 in the Bitcon building and 12 in the Paton building and 12 more could get in Orchid. Six are commercial structures and will be rehabilitated in the commercial spaces by market department. About 39 are not eligible for rehabilitation and 34 may be shifted to Chembur as they are living post-2011, according to a BMC official. About 45 families won't need shifting but may get built-up rights, said Nitin Jha, local social worker. However, the status of 34 post-2011 tenements remains unresolved. As per existing norms, these residents are eligible for rehabilitation in Chembur. They have approached the court seeking accommodation closer to their current locality. The court directed that they be shifted to other Project Affected Persons (PAP) tenements nearby, if available. A final decision on their relocation is still pending, Golekar said. Although allotment letters have been issued, some families are yet to shift. "Renovation work in our new flat is still ongoing. We expect to move soon," said Prakash Gaikwad, a beneficiary. Once the structures are cleared, the corporation aims to complete the project before May....
