Maharashtra Chief Minister&nbsp;Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday said the Maharashtra Housing Area and&nbsp;Development Authority (MHADA) will redevelop the decades old&nbsp;BDD chawls in the megapolis.
The state government is close to a final decision on&nbsp;the modalities and a final cabinet note will be moved before&nbsp;the state Cabinet by the end of January, Fadnavis said.&nbsp;

Replying to queries, he said that the government had&nbsp;held a competition for the architects and the building models&nbsp;selected have been scrutinised.
"All hurdles in the way of the redevelopment of the&nbsp;BDD chawls have been cleared. BDD chawl residents will be&nbsp;accommodated in the new redevelopment," the Chief Minister&nbsp;added.
"The government has held extensive debate on the&nbsp;contentious issues and a final decision will be taken soon in&nbsp;the state cabinet," he said.
BDD chawls are located in Central Mumbai.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, when asked to comment upon alleged clean&nbsp;chit given to senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader&nbsp;and former state minister Chhagan Bhujbal by Minister for&nbsp;Cooperation Chandrakant Patil, Fadnavis clarified that no&nbsp;clean chit was given to Bhujbal.
Asked whether he had received any letter from senior&nbsp;Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut in this connection, the Chief&nbsp;Minister remarked that he has not received any such letter so&nbsp;far.
Replying to queries over reports appearing in a&nbsp;section of media that hardly two to four per cent of budgetary&nbsp;allocations have been spent so far by government departments,&nbsp;Fadnavis clarified that the reports were not true and so far&nbsp;the government has disbursed about 75 per cent of the&nbsp;allocations to the respective departments.
