A major controversy is brewing right under the nose of the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) bosses at Kalanagar, Bandra East, favouring the scam-tainted DB Realty Group for a redevelopment project of a low income group (LIG) colony in Kalanagar, next to BKC.
The 750-odd residents of 18 buildings in the Gandhi Nagar Low Income Group (LIG) housing colony, just 100mt from MHADA headquarters, are allegedly being forced to accept the Bengaluru-based Prestige Group being represented by DB Realty for the redevelopment of tenements spread over 8.5 acres. The colony is in a prime location with easy access to the Western Express Highway and the airport.
DB Realty is led by Shahid Balwa, who was arrested years ago in the 2G scam. The unrelated presence of Balwa and Nabeel Patel, DB Group’s director, at the site is making the plot murkier. Balwa and Patel did not respond to calls, mails and messages for comments.
