Mumbai is likely to be provided a special status under Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) Act for faster clearance of projects meant for redevelopment of the financial capital.
Very soon Mumbai is going to get a special status under Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ).
Union Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh said today that they are considering to give a special status to Mumbai under CRZ Act to resolve issues regarding development and redevelopment of the city. Due to various city related problems CRZ acts are to be changed accordingly before the city gets special status.
The special status envisages housing and right to employment for economically weaker sections, especially the fisherfolks, Ramesh said. The housing projects along the coasts will be undertaken by the state government with state funding and not by the private builders, he said.Labels: India Latest News
