The long-pending issue of the redevelopment of Mazgaon-Kalachowki MHADA colonies is set to be addressed, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Urban Development Minister Eknath Shinde assured in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. The announcement came in response to concerns raised by former Deputy Chief Minister Chhagan Bhujbal during a discussion on redevelopment challenges.

Bhujbal brought up the matter while speaking on a sub-question related to Varun Sardesai’s suggestion on MHADA building redevelopment. He highlighted the deteriorating condition of several large MHADA colonies in the Mazgaon-Kalachowki area, many of which are over 50 years old. Bhujbal urged the government to take possession of these buildings and initiate redevelopment projects to ensure safe and modern housing for residents.
