A new amendment proposed by the state government to the Development Control Regulation, 1991, might be a cause of worry for the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA). The Urban Development Department has proposed a modification by which the consent required by developers to carry out a slum rehabilitation scheme, will be reduced to 50 per cent from the existing 70 per cent. The officials are in a tizzy with 50 per cent as there could be two developers coming forward for one scheme. The modification has also not been welcomed by experts, as they called it a developer friendly move.
