On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) launched a housing scheme for the economically weaker section (EWS) and Low-Income Group (LIG) in the newly developed node Ulwe. These houses are constructed under Prime Minister Awas Yojana and they are based on Transit Oriented Development.
