Researchers: Justice H Suresh, Sudhakar Suradkar, Amita Bhide, Chandrashekhar Deshpande and Simpreet Singh
The National Alliance of People’s Movements (NAPM) in the month of January, 2013 declared the appointment of a People’s Commission on Irregularities in Slum Rehabilitation Authority Projects. The People’s Commission was appointed as a parallel process which could pay closer attention to local concerns through a participatory process of public hearings and generate thinking on alternatives. This report is a product of the review of six such slum rehabilitation sites and the patterns of irregularities found. The report also makes recommendations for a set of principles that informs an alternative policy of rehabilitation.
