The survey, which began on March 18, 2024, aims to map the roughly 600 acres of densely populated Dharavi, a task that is expected to take seven years to complete. Eligible residents will be offered a 350 square foot flat in the area once the project is completed, while ineligible residents will be rehoused elsewhere in Mumbai.
The residents' association, which has given the slogan of Dharavi Banao Andolan, met with S V R Srinivas, CEO of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project/Slum Rehabilitation Authority (DRP/SRA), and submitted a memorandum seeking expedition of the survey. The association has also asked Srinivas to take legal action against those opposing the survey process.
