MHADA signs pact with Adani Group for Motilal Nagar colonies in Goregaon
The redevelopment of Motilal Nagar colonies in Goregaon (West) has officially taken off with the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) signing an agreement with the Adani Group. The Adani Group has been entrusted as the Construction and Development (C&D) agency to execute the project. The MoU was signed on Monday at the MHADA headquarters in the presence of MHADA vice president and CEO Sanjeev Jaiswal and director of Adani Properties Pvt Ltd Pranav Adani. A presentation of the project plan was also delivered to MHADA officials during the event by the Adani Group. 'The long-cherished dream of the residents of Motilal Nagar is now taking a concrete shape. We aim to make this the finest redevelopment project in the country, ensuring transparency, quality, and social commitment through MHADA's implementation,' said Jaiswal. The redevelopment includes Motilal Nagar 1, 2 and 3, which are located over around 142 acres. The scheme is going to rehabilitate about 3,700 tenements and is likely to be executed over a total area of 5,84,100 square metres. According to the agreement, the eligible dwellers will be rehabilitated in 1,600 sq ft flats. Apart from the dwelling units, nearly 987 sq m of commercial space will be provided for non-residential tenants. As part of the project benefits, the developer will hand over 3,97,100 sq m of developed area to MHADA, adding to the housing stock of MHADA.

The State Government has notified the project as a Special Project and given MHADA permission to implement it through a C&D model through their Mumbai Housing and Area Development Board. The Bombay High Court had also sanctioned the redevelopment under this model. In accordance with the direction of the court, Mumbai Board of MHADA called for bids and the Adani Group was chosen as the implementing agency.

There will also be a five-acre central park as part of the master plan. 'Through this project, MHADA is taking a crucial step towards providing residents with modern, secure, and well equipped homes,' Jaiswal said.

The FIR was registered at Bangur Nagar police station on Sunday on the basis of a statement given by the head of accounts working with the group of schools. According to the FIR, the accounts team keeps track of fees paid by students for academics, sports, canteen, bus service etc. If a student leaves the school or quits any activity in the middle of the term, then the fee is refunded to the bank account of the parent proportionately.

Forty-five suspicious payments had been made to the bank accounts of Ms Shaikh, one Ms Kewath and the deputy manager himself — totalling Rs 1.44 crore. Earlier, the deputy manager used to enjoy certain powers as the school trusted him — his computer could not be accessed by anyone else nor could any staffer make changes to the payment files created by him. After the misappropriation of funds came to light, the school scrutinised the list put together by the junior accountant for initiating refunds, but found no mention of individuals like Shaikh or Kewath. It was then concluded that the deputy manager had created payment files for his own benefit in the names of these individuals. A police complaint was then registered.

Elderly man loses Rs 2 lakh in online fraud, SBI told to refund full amount
Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Consumer Commission has directed State Bank of India (SBI) to refund almost Rs 2 lakh to a CV Raman Nagar resident who lost the amount to cybercrooks in July 2022. The 70-year-old had reported the incident within three hours, but the bank failed to reverse the full amount. The incident occurred on July 19, 2022, when the victim, a retired scientist and resident of Mayflower Gardens, unknowingly interacted with an unauthorised online link, following which almost Rs 2 lakh was fraudulently debited from his SBI account. An additional Rs 25,000 was also withdrawn but was later reversed by the bank. Realising the fraud, Mukherjee (name changed) contacted the bank's customer care via phone and email within three hours of the incident, urging them to reverse the entire amount. Despite several emails, letters, and follow-ups, SBI only refunded Rs 25,000, leaving the bulk of the amount unrecovered.

In its defence, SBI contended that the fraudulent transaction was due to the complainant's negligence. The bank argued that the elderly man had interacted with an unauthorised link, which compromised his account security, and thus, it couldn't be held responsible for the fraudulent transaction. SBI also maintained that it had acted promptly by reversing Rs 25,000 as a goodwill gesture, but was under no obligation to refund the remaining Rs 2 lakh. The bank claimed the zero-liability clause wasn't applicable here as there was contributory negligence on the part of the account holder. The district consumer forum agreed, stressing that the onus of ensuring secure transactions rests with the account holder. Highlighting that banks are only expected to refund such amounts when customers report fraud promptly and follow due diligence, the forum ruled that the complainant hadn't satisfied these conditions. Unhappy with the order, Mukherjee filed a complaint with the state commission on Oct 13, 2023, citing deficiency in service. After reviewing all the documents and hearing both parties, the commission observed that the elderly man had reported the fraudulent transaction within three hours, which falls well within RBI's zero-liability guidelines that protect customers who promptly report such incidents. The commission also noted that the district forum had failed to appreciate the key documents and RBI guidelines. "The bank ought to have reversed the entire amount after being informed within hours of the incident. The district commission failed to appreciate the timelines and the evidence," the commission stated. On May 26, 2025, the state commission directed SBI to refund the entire amount (close to Rs 2 lakh) within 60 days, aside from paying the complainant Rs 25,000 towards compensation and litigation costs.
