Maharashtra Invites New Bidders to Revamp Dharavi

Maharashtra government on August 27 has decided to invite fresh bids for redeveloping Asia's largest slum, Dharavi. However, this decision will scrap the existing tender, given in 2018, for Dharavi Redevelopment Project. Earlier, the state's Housing Minister Jitendra Awhad had also requested the CM for timely completion of the project. Reportedly, Dharavi residents have opposed the fresh bidding as it may delay the project further.
