MUMBAI: Several slum dwellers and other residents of middle class localities, whose housing and land rights are denied due to builder-prone Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme of re-development projects with large illegalities and related massive corruption, continued their sit in at Azad Maidan for the second day today. Earlier they started the new year with a two days long march on foot from Mankhurd (East) and Malad and Golibar (West) to Mantralaya.
Yesterday, a delegation refused to meet the Chief Minister, Prithviraj Chavan, and a discussion on immediate issues of land grab and deprivation as also eviction of people, police atrocities committed and no investigation into various land scams involving grabbing of land of the poor by builders were discussed.
Delegation also discussed the macro level issues, such as need to change SRS and alternatives to that.
"We have been given a lot of assurance if these not take shape than we will organise a larger protest," said a protestor.
Another demand that the protestors made was to start the Rajiv Awas Yojana (RAY) underwhich the state is planning to take up 19 slum pockets initially.
"The state government should also take Mankhurd slum under the same project,"said Madhuri Shivkar of the National Alliance of People's Movement(NAPM), the group who is spearheading the movement.
