Adani Group Founder and Chairman Gautam Adani on Tuesday mentioned the Dharavi Redevelopment Project during a speech in a Mumbai college and said it is not just about "urban renewal" but "restoring dignity to over one million residents of our country".
While Dharavi has witnessed a reduction in crimes compared to the era of organised crimes in the 1980s-90s, criminal activities in the slum area remain a concern, especially drug peddling. Even as the people of Dharavi grapple with the grim realities of the slums, the MVA politicians want to polish their politics by inciting the local people by various means.
