The water supply sewerage department of the Nashik Municipal Corporation in Maharashtra has called for tenders to prepare a detailed project report for housing for urban poor under JNNURM.
Under phase-I of the project, for which Rs 335 crore has been approved, NMC intends to create 16,000 tenements for resettlement of slum dwellers. Phase-I was approved on November 28 by the ministry of urban development and poverty alleviation.
Phase-II of the project is likely to take up clearing slums from private land and constructing alternate living spaces through the PPP model. Slum rehabilitation on the private route can be either the Mumbai model or any other alternative methods like grant of additional FSI on the existing land for developers or allotment of alternate sites, an executive engineer at Nashik Municipal Corporation said.
