Maharashtra minister Shambhuraj Desai on Thursday said the state government will hold discussions with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Ajit Pawar regarding demands to include first-floor slum dwellers under rehabilitation schemes implemented by the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) in Mumbai, reported news agency PTI.

The issue was raised by several legislators in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, who highlighted that many residents in the city have been living on the first floors of slum structures for several decades and could be left out of redevelopment benefits under the current policy.
