Seven months after winning flats in Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) lottery, the housing body has given kin of deceased mill workers another reason to cheer. Families of mill workers may not have to submit the mandatory succession certificate in order to receive the keys of their flat, as MHADA has sent a proposal to the state law and judiciary department to consider the affidavit and No Objection Certificate (NOC) submitted by the kin of mill workers as proof to claim the flat they have won.

MHADA had conducted a lottery for 6,925 houses in June last year. File pic
