Calling for a strict and robust implementation of the state slum act, the Bombay High Court has said that the vision should be to make Mumbai a slum-free city.

The court also raised concern over the rehabilitation of slum dwellers who often become victims at the hand of greedy private developers.

“Vision is to have Mumbai, which is considered an international city and the financial capital of our country, slum free. We need to have an absolutely slum free city. Proper implementation of this Act will help that vision,” a bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Somasekhar Sunderesan said on Friday.
