Mumbai: The on-site rehabilitation of slum-dwellers on airport land is likely to face opposition from developer HDIL.
The developer had been assigned construction of 27,000 tenements for slum-dwellers in 2009. But Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), which operates the Chhatrapati Shivaji international airport and was entrusted resettlement and rehabilitation of the slum-dwellers, terminated its agreement with HDIL in 2013.
HDIL and MIAL are locked in arbitration proceedings over the terminated agreement. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the special planning authority for the airport, had complained about the 'inferior' quality of tenements constructed at the Premier Automobile Ltd land in Kurla and refused to take possession.
