1,500 more housing societies to get developed under Self Redevelopment Scheme- Piyush Goyal

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today inaugurated the Charkop Shwetambara Self-Redevelopment Project, a significant step towards empowering residents with self-sustained housing solutions. The project, supported by Mumbai District Central Co-operative Bank, aims to provide permanent housing to the common citizens, freeing them from builder exploitation.

Addressing the gathering, Union Minister Piyush Goyal emphasized the importance of self-redevelopment, stating, “People must take charge of their own future. The days of builder exploitation are over. In North Mumbai alone, 15 societies have already been redeveloped, and soon, 1,500 more will follow. The central government is fully committed to supporting such initiatives.”

Maharashtra’s Infrastructure Development on a Historic Path

Praising Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ leadership, Goyal stated that his contributions to Maharashtra’s infrastructure development will be remembered in history.

He also reaffirmed the Mahayuti government’s commitment to accelerated progress, saying, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Housing for All’ is now taking shape. The upcoming Triple Engine government will work even faster to ensure a better and brighter future for all.”

Key Development Announcements

Goyal highlighted several major infrastructure projects aimed at transforming North Mumbai:

• A 1,000-bed hospital is under construction in Magathane.
• Another 1,000-bed hospital will be built in Charkop, Kandivali (West).
• The Coastal Road Project from Versova to Bhayander will commence soon, pending final environmental approvals, making North Mumbai a model urban area.

A Milestone for the Marathi Community

Speaking at the event, CM Devendra Fadnavis described the day as a “dream come true” for Mumbai’s Marathi-speaking residents. “For the first time, a common Marathi citizen is getting a spacious 1,100 sq. ft. flat through self-redevelopment. This initiative ensures that local families remain in Mumbai rather than being displaced due to high property costs. Today, self-redevelopment has given them a new ray of hope.”

Strict Measures Against Malpractices

Fadnavis also issued a stern warning against corruption in self-redevelopment projects, stating:

• “Anyone involved in malpractice will not be able to retain their job.”
• “Cluster-based self-redevelopment should be encouraged for organized urban development.”

The event witnessed the presence of several prominent leaders, including:

• Pravin Darekar (Leader of Legislative Council)
• MLA Yogesh Sagar
• MLA Atul Bhatkhalkar
• MLA Prakash Surve
• MLA Chitra Wagh
• Former MP Gopal Shetty

Mahayuti’s Stronghold in North Mumbai

During the event, Piyush Goyal assured CM Fadnavis that over 38 municipal corporators from North Mumbai will be elected in the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections, ensuring a strong Triple Engine government dedicated to serving the people.
