Hindustan Times found boards of the company at the Pant Nagar transit camp location and two other adjoining slum pockets. The same group of builders had been allotted an 18,902-sq-metre Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (Mhada) plot in 1999 to develop a transit camp with 672 tenements. Speaking to HT, several residents of Pant Nagar are opposed to clubbing the two different projects. Supriya Adam, a resident of the transit camp said, “We don’t want the transit camp redevelopment to be clubbed with slum redevelopment. We are the original residents of Pant Nagar, and this land is rightfully ours, given to us by Mhada over 40 years ago.
