The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has allotted 961 residential flats to Project Affected Persons (PAPs) through the Airport Slum Rehabilitation Project at Kurla Premier Compound. Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde facilitated the distribution of the keys and allotment letters to 10 PAPs on Tuesday.

He adds, “So far, our people-centric government has fulfilled the dream of more than 1200 PAPs through the allotment of flats.”

MMRDA took up the responsibility to fulfil the rehabilitation tasks focused on resettling PAPs linked to the site of the Airport Authority in Mumbai as the Project Coordinating Organisation.

Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA said, “Whenever the need for rehabilitation and resettlement arises, we ensure to fulfil our duty to grant rightful accommodations to the PAPs as early as possible.”

The Building No. 2 at Kurla Premier will provide residential flats for 406 PAPs from Kranti Nagar, whereas the residential flats for 394 PAPs from Sandesh Nagar and 161 PAPs from Kranti Nagar will be granted at the Building No. 3, adding up to 961 flats in total.
