MHADA Nashik
Board chief officer Shivkumar Awalkanthe said.
MHADA authorities on Monday organised a
Janata Durbar
(people's court/assembly) on Monday, similar to Lok Shahi Din, during which residents approached the office for solutions to their grievances.
"Citizens settled their dues and are residing in MHADA built houses for a long time, but even today they lack the ownership title that prevents them from taking any benefit of the structures.
People should form societies at the earliest," said Awalkanthe.
He said, the housing body has been working for many years to provide
affordable housing
to people from lower and middle-income groups. It has been constructing houses in Nashik city, adjoining towns and Malegaon since 1967. "Residents of these colonies will someday want to sell their properties, transfer them to their heirs or even go for redevelopment, but the lack of formation of societies will not allow them to proceed with their ideas, the officer said.
There are over 10,000 beneficiaries of MHADA in Nashik district alone. Awalkanthe pointed out that MHADA has been organising Janata Durbar at its office on the first Monday of every month and appealed to residents of MHADA colonies to approach the office with their grievances that will be resolved by the body.
Another senior officer noted that the major reason for the non-formation of societies was the lack of interest among people and differing views.
"Though this is true, people will have to come together in the interest of their family and heirs," said the officer.

At the Lok Kalyan office, citizens' complaints are taken note of, and decisions are taken by coordinating with all departments like MHADA, SRA, and the municipal corporation.

He said this while responding to a question raised by NCP legislator Rohit Pawar and others in the state Assembly. DyCM Shinde further stated that the government issued a government resolution on March 15, 2024, for making available homes to the workers from closed and sick textile mills from Mumbai in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

UP CM Yogi Adityanath assures fee waiver to Class 7 girl, RSS-run school refuses: ‘No such provision'
After a Class 7 student appealed to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath for a fee waiver, he assured her support — paving the way for her dream of becoming an IAS officer. UP CM Adityanath had assured the girl that she would not face obstacles in her education.(PTI) 'Either your fees will be waived, or we will arrange the amount,' Adityanath told the student, news agency PTI reported. However, despite the chief minister's assurance that the girl would face no obstacles in her education, the school management refused to pardon her fees, according to an NDTV report. The school is run by RSS's education wing Vidya Bharati, and charges a monthly fee of ₹1,650 for Class 7, reported NDTV. Pankhuri has outstanding dues of about ₹18,000. The student, Pankhuri Tripathi, said the school told her that there was no such provision. "I had gone to the chief minister with a fee pardon request. He gave me a chocolate and assured me that it would be done. But when I went to school with my father, they misbehaved with us," Pankhuri said. She added that the school management had told them that if more people asked for such waivers, the institution would not be able to function. 'They said they have to pay teachers,' Pankuri said, as per NDTV. Pankhuri's father, Rajiv Kumar Tripathi, had suffered a leg injury, following which he lost his job. 'When I was at home during the pandemic, I slipped off the terrace and suffered a leg injury. I lost my job,' Rajiv said. He said both his children study in English-medium schools, with his son currently in Class 12. Pankhuri was not able to attend school after February given the family's difficulty in paying the fees. 'It is my son's last year in school, so I did not want to disrupt his education. I thought of taking my daughter out of school for a year,' NDTV quoted Rajiv as saying. However, Rajiv then had the idea of attending the CM's Janata Durbar on July 1, during which Adityanath directed officials to ensure that Pankhuri's education is not affected. However, when Rajiv took his daughter to the school, the management 'misbehaved' with them, saying there was no such provision for a pardon. 'Truth behind BJP's slogan': Akhilesh Yadav's jibe at UP CM Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took a jibe at the BJP and CM Adityanath, saying this was the 'truth behind BJP's slogan'. 'Those who are busy hoarding, how will they waive or pay someone's fees?,' Yadav said in a post on X. The SP chief also promised that Pankhuri's education would not stop. 'This is the truth of the BJP's fake slogans of 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao'. We urge the BJP not to lie to children,' he said. However, Pankhuri's family has rested their hopes on the UP CM, with Rajiv Tripathi saying, '…We are associated with the Math and Maharaj ji (Yogi Adityanath) and we believe he will ensure my daughter's education.'
