A. Dear Client,

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) carries out projects that involve the demolition of slums and other dwellings. In such cases, individuals displaced from their homes, including chawals, can seek rehabilitation under the MMRDA's Rehabilitation and Resettlement Scheme. This initiative aims to provide shelters to those who are evacuated due to the development projects, similar to the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA).

1. Under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).
2. Under Section 18 of the Hindu Adoptions and Maintenance Act.
