Mumbai: In a hearing with Sanjay Banaita, deputy director of town planning, regarding the clarification on a matter related to housing stock mentioned in the development control regulation (DCR), Shiv Sena MLA Mangesh Kudalkar asked the housing department to clearly mention the terms in the government resolution (GR) issued by it.

The non-implementation of the redevelopment of 56 Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) colonies resulted in residents staging a protest last year demanding their redevelopment.

The state government had, in September 2016, announced a new draft pro rata floor space index (FSI) policy. According to the draft, developers will be able to opt for both premium as well as housing stock. Mhada plans to charge premium from developers for smaller projects and it will ask developers to give it housing stock in projects where a particular unit measures more than 2,000 square feet.

The state housing department had earlier this year issued a GR asking the general public for suggestions and objections.

Mr Kudalkar said, “I had gone for my hearing on Tuesday and have suggested that housing department to clearly mention the clause of housing stock and premium in their GR.
