Nearly a month after the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) promised a solution over the concerns raised by the families of the project-affected Elphinstone area, some have settled with the available options. As many as 13 families of Haji Noorani, one of the two buildings from which residents were supposed to be relocated, have raised various concerns regarding the houses provided to them.
