Mumbai: State seeks to redevelop slums on Juhu airport

The wants to redevelop the slums on Juhu airport. We want to propose to the union aviation minister that in return for giving us 50% of the airport land which is not required for aeronautical operations, we will give the Airports Authority of India (AAI) the other 50% of the land free of slums.

The proposal comes even as the state government in 2018 cancelled the reservation for an affordable housing scheme and restored the reservation for airport in the citys Development Plan 2034.

The government will also soon announce an amnesty scheme to restart 256 stalled schemes.
