While the government continues to promote self-redevelopment, residents of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel (SVP) Nagar in Andheri West, one of the largest Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) colonies, are confused about the future of their homes after the housing authority issued a letter to the housing department over a month ago stating that it will undertake redevelopment of the entire cluster.

On July 7, MHADA Vice-President and Chief Executive Officer Sanjeev Jaiswal wrote a letter to the state housing department on the redevelopment of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Nagar by the appointment of a construction and development agency and that the redevelopment should be done along the lines of what was done at Motilal Nagar-1, 2 and 3, Abhyudaya Nagar Kalachowkie, Bandra Reclamation and Adarsh Nagar Worli, as per Regulation 33 (9) of the Development Control and Promotion Rules.
