Scrap approval for Dharavi redevpt masterplan: Congress MP to CM
Mumbai: Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad met chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday and submitted a letter demanding that the govt's approval given last week for the Dharavi Redevelopment Project's (DRP) masterplan be scrapped. She also challenged "Fadnavis and his Adani Sarkar" to hold a public hearing on the masterplan. Posting TOI's ground reports on local resistance to the ongoing eligibility survey in Dharavi on X, she asked how the masterplan was cleared without public consultations or inviting suggestions and objections as mandated under MRTP Act for draft development plans. The project is among the largest urban transformation schemes in the world and is being implemented by Navbharat Mega Developers Private Ltd. It is an SPV between the state govt and Adani group , which holds 80% stake. Speaking to TOI, the project's CEO, SVR Srinivas, clarified that the masterplan was not a development plan (DP) and that public suggestions and objections would be invited when changes are made in the future to the Dharavi DP, which was published in 2016. "The masterplan lays out the broad strategy. It is not a DP which gives details on land use. There is an existing DP for Dharavi which was published in 2016. When changes are made to that 2016 Dharavi DP, we will be inviting suggestions and objections," said Srinivas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Après 60 ans, vos genoux vous font souffrir ?

Gaikwad referred to the project as a "mega land-grab". "This is not a development plan but a master-plan for the most unjust mass displacement in urban India's history," she said on X. She also called it "Adani's Dharavi Vinash Master Plan." Gaikwad said barely 40% of the survey documentation work was complete after three years, an indication of the "massive public unrest" about the project. She also asked why the survey was being conducted by "Adani's men" instead of the land-owning govt agencies, as is the case in such projects. "Threats, force, and undue pressure have been put on people to participate in the survey," she alleged. She also said the govt should put the list of those found eligible and ineligible in the public domain. In response, Srinivas told TOI the bulk of local tenements were surveyed. "Around 1 lakh tenements have already been surveyed. Only around 20,000 are remaining. We have issued multiple notices for people to come forward and participate in the survey because we do not want to exclude anyone," said Srinivas. He said the DRP conducted a drone survey in 2023 and a LiDAR survey to map the area. He denied charges that "Adani's men" were conducting the survey to identify eligible tenements. "As in most SRA projects, the survey is being conducted by an agency. It is being financed by the Adani group. But a govt official is present during the survey and all receipts are issued by the govt official," said Srinivas.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu's Subham OTT release date confirmed: When and where to watch the Telugu horror-comedy?
After a moderately successful theatrical run, Samantha Ruth Prabhu's debut production Subham is now gearing up for its OTT debut. The Telugu-language horror comedy, directed by Praveen Kandregula, is confirmed to stream exclusively on JioHotstar starting June 13, 2025. The film initially premiered in theatres on May 9 and is now preparing to reach a wider audience online. From ZEE5 Exit to JioHotstar Deal The digital release of Subham faced a delay due to a sudden change in OTT partnerships. Originally, the film had secured a deal with ZEE5 for both digital and satellite rights. However, following underwhelming box office collections on the first day, ZEE5 reportedly attempted to renegotiate the agreement. The fallout led Samantha to terminate the deal and strike a new partnership with JioHotstar. The platform officially announced the streaming date with a promotional poster, confirming the June 13 release. — JioHotstarTel_ (@JioHotstarTel_) by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like O carro de Paolla Oliveira choca o mundo inteiro, a prova em fotos! Boite A Scoop Undo Set in the pre-internet era of early 2000s Bheemili, Subham blends supernatural elements with comedy. The story follows Srinivas, a modest cable operator, and his wife Srivalli, an MBA graduate, whose life turns unsettling when Srivalli begins behaving strangely every night at 9 PM. Srinivas eventually discovers that multiple women in their village are facing similar unexplained behavior during the same hour. The bizarre pattern leads to a deeper mystery involving a spiritual attachment to a television serial titled Janma Janmala Bandham. Creative Plot and Fresh Talent The film's plot takes a humorous turn as three local friends, who manage the town's only cable network, attempt to resolve the possession issue by creating an alternate ending to the serial. Subham showcases a young and relatively new cast including Harshith Reddy, Gavireddy Srinivas, Charan Peri, Shriya Kontham, Shravani Lakshmi, Shalini Kondepudi, and Vamshidhar Goud. Samantha also appears in a brief cameo as Maya Matasri and is featured in a promotional song of the same title as the serial within the film. The screenplay is written by Vasanth Mariganti, while Raj Nidimoru served as the creative producer. The film's music is composed by the duo Shor Police, with Vivek Sagar handling the background score. Mridul Sujit Sen led the cinematography. The production was backed by Samantha's Tralala Moving Pictures in collaboration with Kanakavalli Talkies. Although it started slow at the box office, the film's clever narrative and performances helped it recover commercially, reportedly making profits on a Rs 10 crore budget. Samantha's strategic promotions across Telugu states played a major role in the film's turnaround. The horror comedy has been particularly appreciated for its unique concept and humorous commentary on entertainment's impact on women in rural India. With a growing fan base and digital release just around the corner, Subham is expected to find renewed interest among family audiences.
