1971-74: According to the Maharashtra Slum Areas Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment Act,
Dharavi was declared a slum in this year. The law defines a slum in terms of structures and amenities.
And under this act the Slum Improvement Board provided people of Dharavi with taps, toilets and electrical
connections.
The Sion-Mahim-Link Road, the 60 feet and 90 feet roads were all built around this time and the sewer lines
and water lines were also laid down.
The Transit Camps were built as a result of the development, which was used to relocate people who came in
the way of expanding Dharavi’s main roads and also to house people who worked on those projects.

CONCERNS & CRITIQUE: HIKES
H I K E S
Health Income Knowledge Environment Socio-Culture
CONCERNS and CRITIQUE
1. Legal Issues
 Procedures prescribed under MRTP Act 1991, not followed.
- All Dharavi does not qualify as SLUM
- Mere modification of DCR has no legal standing
 The argument that DRP is nothing but an attempt to implement the
sanctioned development plan (DP) is untenable in view of the changes
that have taken place
CONCERNS & CRITIQUE :
2. Planning Issues
 Carrying out clear and transparent surveys absolutely mandatory for
the Planning process
- Population Survey, Household Survey, Infrastructure Survey, Ownership Survey,
Physical Survey
 Impossibility of assessment of the adequacy in DRP due to lack of
Projection studies and Planning standards not being made public
 Lack of land-use survey and planning strategies
- Communities ignorant about project and rehabilitation plan
- “Sector” approach questionable and unequal distribution of “sectors” leading to higher
densities in some parts.
- FSI of 4 will cause unviable densities.
- No clarity about metro routes and stations in Dharavi
- No link between Dharavi Infrastructure plan and Infrastructure plan of Greater Mumbai.
- EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) at township level should be commissioned by
the GoM
CONCERNS & CRITIQUE :
3. Financial Issues
 Huge profits to the developers and high revenues for GoM
 Basis for fixed premium @450/- sq.ft. or its subsequent revision not
clear
CONCERNS & CRITIQUE :
3. Absence of clarity
 No clarity on the roles of different stakeholders
- Role of Government as arbitrator needs to be clearly spelt out
- Responsibilities of SRA, MCGM, GoM and private developers not clear in terms of
planning and implementation
- No clarity on contractual provisions, MoU’s and commitments
- Issues of eligibility for Rehabilitation
- Private land being treated as Slum land and acquired for private Development
4. Absence of community participation in DRP
 Plan prepared in a top-down technocratic way
- Absence of people’s participation in the formulation and conception of DRP.
CONCERNS & CRITIQUE :
5. Issues regarding allotment of consultancy for the DRP
 No transparent and standard procedures for appointment of consultant
Mr. Mukesh Mehta
 Lack of qualifications and experience; unsatisfactory performance
 Arbitrary and unjustifiable remuneration
 Transformation of the role of Mr. Mukesh Mehta
Deficiency in documents submitted by the consultant
- Complete clearance and a top-down approach ignoring the site realities.
- No base survey documents, mapping and site documentation prior to submitting tenders.
CONCERNS & CRITIQUE :
6. Role of Government of Maharashtra
 In relation to tendering process
 In relation to arbitration process
