The residents of Mahalaxmi Sadan at Jacob's Circle, who were asked to go to Gorai as an alternative accommodation to pave the way for metro line 3, were recently given allotment letters to shift to Mazgaon's Nariyalwadi. However, they haven't yet moved, seeking an assurance that they will be considered if the building is redeveloped. Also, two of 19 tenants have not yet received allotment letters.

mid-day had reported in October that with the semester exams just around the corner for about 30 students, tenants of Mahalaxmi Sadan were living in fear of losing their homes. MHADA's Repair and Reconstruction board had asked them to vacate their houses and move to Gorai. All this to pave the way for the ongoing metro 3 work. A seven days notice was given on October 8 to the tenants of the building, and in December they were given an option in Mazgaon.
