A 72-year-old Kandivli resident, struck by paralysis, is locked in a redevelopment battle with a construction firm. As per an agreement signed in 2008, Indira Ghia is supposed to get two flats of 523.88 square feet each in a building redeveloped from a chawl, where she lived earlier.

But, the developer has now sent her a letter telling her to pay R4.5 lakh for each flat, as the carpet area has increased by 22.50 square feet. Ghia's family claims that as per the agreement, they were promised both the flats at Aman Society in Kandivli West. But now the construction firm — Kandur Corporation — has dashed off a letter to the elderly woman telling her to pay R4.5 lakh for each flat as now the carpet area is more than what was mentioned in the development agreement, signed between the builder and the society.
