Mumbai, June 1 2026: The city of Mumbai is seeing a change. Around 150 small homes were knocked down in the Mulund area of Mumbai. This was done to make way for the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road. The people in charge say this road will help people move around the city easily and cut down on travel time between Goregaon and Mulund.
The homes that were knocked down were in the way of the road. The police were there to make sure everything went smoothly. The people who lived in these homes are not happy. They say the process of deciding who gets to stay and who has to go was not fair.
The city officials say they did everything by the book. They gave the people who lived in these homes notices and did many surveys. They say the people who are eligible will get help to find a place to live.
The people who lived in these homes say this is not true. They say many families were left out of the surveys or were told they did not qualify for help. The people who were affected by the demolition went to the site. Asked for the process to be done again.
The people who live in the area say they have been living there for a time. They have papers that show they should get help to find a place to live. They say the officials did not do a job of checking the papers and did not tell them how they decided who was eligible for help.
One of the people who lived in the area said “we are not against the road but people should not lose their homes because of mistakes.” Many families are worried about where they will live and what will happen to them in the future.
The new road is a project for Mumbai. It will help reduce traffic and make it easier for people to get around.. The people who are affected by the project are not happy. They say the city should not make them leave their homes without making sure they have a place to live.
The city officials say they did everything they were supposed to do. They say they will look at the complaints, from the people who were affected and help those who’re eligible.
Some politicians and activists are speaking out about the issue. They say the city should make sure the people who are affected by the project are treated fairly. They say the city should not forget about the people who live in these areas.
The experts who plan the city say it is hard to move people out of their homes to make way for projects. They say the city should make sure the people who are affected are treated fairly and get the help they need.
For now the demolition has made people talk about the road and the people who were affected. As the project moves forward people will be watching to see if the people who were affected are treated fairly.
