Slum transfer policy to protect 4 lakh structures

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 26 Februari 2014 | 22.23

MUMBAI: The state government will announce a transfer policy to provide immediate protection to four lakh slum structures, said sources. The policy will fast-track protection to slums as it does not require legislation.

"In slums where the 1995 cut-off is applicable, structures up to 1995 will be granted protection under the transfer policy. In slums where protection has been granted up to 2000, here structures that have come up till that year will be protected,'' said sources. Once the slum bill extending the cut-off date to 2000 for all slums is passed, then protection will be extended to all such structures, said sources.

Under the transfer policy, residents who have purchased the pre-1995 or pre-2000 slum structures will have to pay in the range of Rs 25,000 to Rs 40,000 to be recognised as bonafide residents. This will make them eligible for free housing when the slum goes in for redevelopment. "When the slum cut-off date is extended, another four lakh slum structures will be protected,'' said sources.

Cabinet minister Naseem Khan said the transfer policy and extension of the slum cut-off date was essential as otherwise a large number of people would be dis-housed.

"Preliminary survey of the airport slums, where the cut-off date is 2000, revealed that despite the extension, only around 35% would be eligible for rehabilitation. This is because the structures have been sold and resold like other tenements in the city,'' he said.

In a 2003 ruling on a PIL against transfer of development rights, the high court reiterated the 1995 cut-off date shall not be extended further. The government challenged the ruling by a special leave petition in the Supreme Court. It will come up for hearing in April .

Highlights of transfer policy
