On Tuesday, October 9, long queues were spotted outside the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority, MHADA, in Bandra (East), north west Mumbai.
Inquiries revealed that those standing in queue were former mill workers from the city and their family members. They needed to prove their work history in the city to become eligible for subsidised housing provided by the government agency, MHADA.
The verification process which began on September 15 will continue for three months.
