Peeved with lack of redevelopment and frequent surveys by government bodies, this Holi disgruntled Dharavi locals have decided to burn the documents, which make them eligible for a house in the area after redevelopment. They made the announcement earlier this week when they went to Maharashtra Housing and Development Authority’s (MHADA) office at Bandra.

They claim that despite the BMC, MHADA and even a non-government organisation (NGO) conducting surveys earlier, the municipal corporation is again having a survey in Dharavi. The locals fear that if they are proved as illegal residents in the ongoing survey then in the near future they might not get their homes.
