Mumbai, Jan 28: Under the second phase of the Ashray Yojana, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will construct housing for sanitation workers on P. L. Lokhande Road in Chembur, using prefabrication technology to ensure faster and high-quality construction.
The project entails the development of 580 residential units, each with a carpet area of 300 sq ft. The civic body invited tenders for the project on Wednesday.
Redevelopment under Ashray Yojana
Mumbai currently has 46 residential quarters for BMC sanitation workers, of which 30 have been identified for redevelopment under the Ashray Yojana.
In 2021, the BMC’s Standing Committee approved redevelopment proposals for sanitation workers’ quarters in N Ward (Chirag Nagar), L Ward (Lions Garden), S Ward (Amrapali Building), T Ward (Gaikwad Nagar), and P-South Ward (Mitha Nagar and Pragati Nagar).
