According to DNA, out of the 256, 130 tenants have visited the site office at NM Joshi Marg to get their agreement registered online. Out of a total of 800 tenants in these buildings that are undergoing redevelopment in the first phase, 451 are eligible as per final Annexure 2 (part 1). A senior official from MHADA told the leading daily, “At present, online registration of transit agreements of 451 eligible tenants needs to be completed on a priority basis, following which they will be shifted to transit camps.”
Around 400 residents have been allotted transit accommodation within 2 kilometres of their current stay. The MHADA official told the DNA, “We have finalised the transit camps which are within 2 kilometres of their current stay. More than 256 tenants have signed and submitted their agreement to MHADA.
