Rehabilitate SGNP residents within 10km radius: Shinde

Mumbai: Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) slumdwellers should be rehabilitated within a 10km radius of the park, deputy CM Eknath Shinde said on Wednesday. "As per the court's directive, all civic facilities should be made residents get spacious houses by providing additional FSI," said Shinde during a review meeting of Kurla and Chandivli assembly constituencies. "The Gorakhdham site should be considered; it should be inspected and verified for rehabilitation," he added. Shinde also directed immediate repairs of MMRDA-built PAP buildings in Chandivli and said the 650-bed hospital, which is not yet operational, be handed over to BMC. Shinde said suggestions and objections have been invited regarding redevelopment of buildings in the airport's funnel zone in Vile Parle. "The responses will be studied and the errors rectified while finalising the policy. Discussions will be held with the Airports Authority of India on retaining the joggers park in Vile Parle (E)," he said. — Chaitanya Marpakwar
