Mumbai: Slum-dwellers occupying land around Mumbai's international airport will be rehabilitated in the same region, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis told the Legislative Assembly in Nagpur today.
Replying to a calling attention moved by Parag Alwani of BJP, Mr Fadnavis said the government has framed certain rules and regulations for "in situ rehabilitation", and slum-dwellers will be resettled in the same area.
He said the Civil Aviation Minister A Gajpathi Raju had given "in principle" nod for rehabilitation.
The Chief Minister said the government was constructing houses to accommodate slum-dwellers.
"Until the houses are ready, they will be accommodated on a temporary basis. Those residing in Sahara and Vile-Parle localities (nearby the airport) have been served with notices which caused panic, and therefore they (slum-dwellers) should be accommodated in Chakala area," Mr Fadnavis said.
