Dharavi's Factory Owners Anxious About Revamp
Mumbai: Jameelbhai Khan runs a thriving garment business from six factories in the sprawling slum of Dharavi, among the largest in Asia. He has around 15 tailors stitching tops and kurtis for women from designs sourced from malls. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now These are sold at the wholesale market in Bandra's Ghas Bazaar at just Rs 200 and find their way into Mumbai's retail shops. His turnover is a stunning Rs 30 lakh per month. Khan is part of Dharavi's booming economic engine. The slum, which is on the cusp of one of the largest urban transformation projects in the world, is home to scores of cottage industries ranging from leather, garments and embroidery to pottery, printing, snacks and scrap recycling. Its leather trade is a hub for corporate gifting—churning out wallets, keychains, passport holders, satchels and pouches. The turnover of Dharavi's trade runs into crores, with products travelling to other states and even overseas. Besides, it generates employment for thousands, mainly migrant workers. Jameelbhai has refused to participate in the survey being conducted to identify those eligible for resettlement in the Dharavi redevelopment project. "They have given us no information on the plan. We do not know what will happen to our factories and if they will have to shift out," he says. The pottery hub of Kumbharwada and 13 compound area, known for scrap recycling, have also opposed the survey. The recently cleared masterplan of Adani-led Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) aims to transform the slum sprawl into a well-connected urban zone by integrating residential, industrial and commercial areas with open spaces. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It estimates that 13,468 industrial and commercial units will need to be constructed within Dharavi free of cost for eligible tenants. The total indicative number of industrial, retail and commercial tenements is 20,000 (the survey is still on). Five tentative industrial clusters have been planned. Yet, there is a wave of anxiety among Dharavi's entrepreneurs about whether their factories and workplaces will be accommodated in the revamp. Through most of Dharavi, living and working spaces co-exist, with families living on the ground floor of the tenement and factories or workshops accommodated on the mezzanine or upper storeys. The crux of their concern is that only ground floor structures which existed till the cut-off date of Jan 1, 2000, will be eligible for rehabilitation in Dharavi free of cost. They are eligible for a 350 sq ft residential space or a 225 sq m commercial space. Typically, owners of upper-floor tenements in slums have been deemed illegal and excluded from slum rehabilitation projects. As an exception, the Dharavi project offers those living in upper floors the choice of 300 sq ft rental housing outside Dharavi in Deonar or the salt pan lands of Kanjurmarg, Mulund or Bhandup. But what about commercial spaces like workshops and factories operating from upper floors? Officials say these will be accommodated in Dharavi itself on the payment of a nominal lease rent with the cutoff date of Nov 2022. There will be no limit on the space they want to take. Those who get the free 225 sq metre space can rent additional space here too. "Ten per cent of the rehab generated has been kept aside for commercial use within Dharavi itself. Those with factories and workshops on mezzanine and upper floors can be accommodated here," said a source linked to the project. But factory owners are worried about rental costs. Also, migrant labourers live and work in the factories and the revamp also raises questions about where they will go. "I own three factories in Dharavi and have around 30 workers living there. I don't pay rent. If I have to start paying rent, then my costs will shoot up. Where will my workers live? Will these commercial spaces accommodate them?" asks Abdulais Shaikh of Sana Leather works which has a turnover of around Rs 20 lakh. Those who rent the upper story of a tenement to set up a factory will remain vulnerable. "A segment of factories here rent space. The owner of the tenement will now claim the upper floors as his own to access rental housing for his family," says Raju Korde from the Dharavi Bachao Andolan which is protesting against the DRP. The Dharavi Bachao Andolan has questioned the data in the ongoing survey which has so far counted 72,000 eligible tenements. "In our estimation, there are around 1 lakh tenements but if you count the upper floors, the number goes up to around 2 lakh. Where will they all go?" asks Korde. The lack of information on what is being planned continues to drive resistance to the project. "We need to be told what is coming and how we will be accommodated. What is the cost of renting these commercial spaces? They should invite our suggestions and objections to the plan. Till then we will oppose the survey," says Jameelbhai Khan.

Chief engineer arrested on retirement day for illegal assets of Rs 15cr
1 2 3 4 5 6 Bhubaneswar: A day after Baikunthanath Sarangi, chief engineer of rural development department, was caught on video tossing around Rs 50 lakh in cash onto his neighbour's terrace during a vigilance raid here, officers arrested him on his day of retirement on Saturday for allegedly possessing disproportionate assets worth over Rs 15 crore. Vigilance officers produced him before a designated court, which rejected his bail plea and remanded him in judicial custody. Officers said the arrest was the 61st case against Class-I officers in the state this year in the ongoing anti-corruption drive. "Sarangi was found to be in possession of disproportionate assets which were 483% more than his known sources of income," a vigilance officer said. He was booked under sections 13(2), 13(1)(b) and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018. During searches, vigilance sleuths found two double-storey residential buildings, a flat in Bhubaneswar, another flat in Puri, and seven high-value plots on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar and Angul belonging to Sarangi. Cash amounting to Rs 2,56,29,299 was found, of which Rs 1,34,34,299 was in his wife's name. Officers faced a tough task retrieving Rs 50 lakh that Sarangi threw on the terrace of his neighbour from the window of his house in Dumduma area of the city upon seeing the sleuths. Vigilance found that Sarangi invested Rs 2.7 crore in the share market and Rs 1.5 crore in insurance and banks. Sarangi started his career as an engineer in the panchayati raj department in 1991 with a monthly salary of Rs 2,000. In Feb this year, he was promoted to chief engineer. In another development, vigilance sleuths on Saturday conducted searches at multiple locations related to assistant executive engineer (roads and buildings division-1), N Dillip Kumar Choudhury, in Berhampur and Bhubaneswar for alleged possession of disproportionate assets. The searches detected a double-storey building in Mayuree Vihar, Berhampur, a three-BHK flat in Saheed Nagar, Bhubaneswar, a 2-BHK flat at Dharma Nagar in Berhampur, 11 plots and several pieces of land in Berhampur. They found bank balance and investment worth over Rs 28.53 lakh and two wheelers and household articles worth over Rs 10. 11 lakh during search.

Shift to new Central Secretariat buildings likely to start by August
Ending a nearly-100-year stay in the case of North Block and some 60 years for Nirman Bhawan, the Union ministries and departments located in these two complexes are likely to start shifting to the new Common Central Secretariat (CCS) 1,2 and 3 buildings by August, The Indian Express has learnt. The timeline for the remaining projects is also likely to be 'condensed', with the central government working on tenders for them, it has been learnt. The other CCS buildings are proposed to come up at the site of Nirman Bhawan, Shastri Bhawan, Krishi Bhawan, Udyog Bhawan and National Museum, which are expected to be demolished to make way for the new complex. Built as a part of the central government's larger plan to redevelop the Central Vista area — which stretches from India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhavan — the CCS 1,2 and 3 buildings are nearing completion. According to government sources, about 5% of the work is remaining in the new complex, which is located along Kartavya Path, earlier known as Rajpath, on one side, with Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road, Janpath and Man Singh Road on the other. The three buildings would be the first set to be completed out of the proposed 10 CCS buildings that are meant to come up after demolishing existing office buildings along Kartavya Path. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, whose Central Public Works Department is carrying out the Central Vista project, is among the ministries set to move from Nirman Bhawan to the CCS complex. North Block, which houses the Ministry of Home Affairs, Finance Ministry and Department of Personnel and Training, is also set to be emptied to make way for restoration and conversion as a national museum. Top government sources say the CCS 3 is nearly complete, while the other two buildings will be completed over the next three months. Larsen & Toubro Limited had in October 2021 won the bid for constructing the CCS 1,2 and 3 project with a bid of Rs. 3,141.99 crore — the CPWD's single largest tender. While the North and South Blocks were completed as a part of the new capital by the colonial British government in 1931, the other government office buildings, Udyog Bhawan, Nirman Bhawan, Shastri Bhawan, Rail Bhawan and Krishi Bhawan were constructed from 1956 to 1968. According to a government source, the timeline for the remaining Central Vista projects is likely to be 'condensed'. The entire project, which includes the construction of the new Parliament, redevelopment of Kartavya Path, 10 CCS buildings and a conference centre, Vice-President's Enclave, Executive Enclave and PM's residence, was initially proposed in 2019 and was meant to be completed by 2024. However, the project has been hit by delays, with only the Parliament building, VP Enclave and Kartavya Path revamp completed so far. Work on the Executive Enclave, the CCS 10 (at the site of Raksha Bhawan) and CCS 6 and 7 (site of old VP House and Vigyan Bhawan Annexe) are underway. The CCS 6 and 7 project was recently awarded to L&T by the CPWD, as per a statement by the construction company. The project is the first of the Central Vista works not to be designed by Ahmedabad's HCP Design, Planning and Management, which was the CPWD's consultant for drawing up the masterplan and its buildings so far.
