News

Govandi faces new wave of slum redevelopment and displacement

Hindustan Times · · Regulatory

Mumbai's Govandi-Mankhurd area, shaped by decades of forced resettlement, faces redevelopment of 18 slum colonies with 400,000 sq m marked for TDR generation without resident consent.

Key facts

Govandi-Mankhurd comprises much of M/East ward. The Deonar dumping ground was established here in 1927. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is redeveloping 64 slum pockets across Mumbai, with 18 colonies marked for redevelopment in Govandi. A colossal 400,000 sq m is up for redevelopment, generating Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) that builders can use in projects elsewhere in the city. Slum residents' consent is not required, nor do they have a say in the plan.

Govandi's history: In the 1950s, slum and pavement dwellers from the island city were evicted to Manbadruk in Trombay near Govandi and Majaz Colony in Jogeshwari. Around 7,450 families set up Janta Colony in Trombay, the earliest slum settlement in Govandi. In the same decade, the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Trombay prompted further displacement. In the late 1960s and 1970s, demolitions saw settlers arrive in Lotus Colony, Shivaji Nagar and Bainganwadi, displaced from the island city and suburbs such as Bandra, Juhu and Andheri. Anna Bhau Sathe Nagar was set up in the 1970s by the Matang community from Marathwada. The shifting of Bandra's slaughter house to Deonar in 1971 brought another group of settlers. During Indira Gandhi's Emergency in 1976, around 7,000 homes in Janta Colony were demolished to make way for Anushakti Nagar, which built 700 flats for Department of Atomic Energy officers.

Govandi Residents Challenge BMC Waste Plant At NGT

The Free Press Journal · · Regulatory

Govandi residents filed legal notice against BMC's waste-to-energy plant in Deonar, citing health risks, environmental violations, and proximity to residential areas.

Key facts

Govandi Citizens Welfare Forum issued legal notice to BMC, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board and Central Pollution Control Board over proposed waste-to-energy plant in Deonar. BMC targets commissioning by October 2025.

Residents cite concerns: waste-to-energy technology in India fails due to high moisture content and low calorific value of municipal waste; incineration releases carcinogenic pollutants including dioxins, furans, NOx, SO2, heavy metals, PM2.5 and PM10; Deonar already Mumbai's most polluted area with toxic air quality and recurring landfill fires.

Allegations: plant constructed on land reserved for public utilities under Development Plan 1991 without public consultation; site violates Central Pollution Control Board buffer zone guidelines requiring 500 meters distance from residential areas, plant is within 200 meters of densely populated settlements; violates Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act 1966.

Demands: immediately halt construction, revoke environmental clearances, declare site illegal, conduct independent environmental impact assessment with public hearings, adopt alternative waste management solutions including composting and decentralised processing.

Comptroller and Auditor General report highlighted waste-to-energy plants not financially viable, requiring excessive subsidies while failing to generate promised electricity. World Bank withdrew funding from similar project in Gujarat due to environmental concerns.
