Mumbai: In a significant step toward resolving Mumbai’s long-pending police housing crisis, the Maharashtra government has decided to redevelop 75 plots across the city to construct 40,000 new residential units for the police force.
Aim Of The Move
The move aims to address decades of housing shortages that have forced many personnel to live far from their workplaces, undermining their efficiency and morale. A 15-member high-level panel has been set up to spearhead it. Headed by the Additional Chief Secretary (Home Department), the committee will examine the existing state of police colonies, explore redevelopment models, and recommend a comprehensive blueprint for the new housing township.
