Slamming the government decison to increase the FSI,the Rashtriya Dalit Congress on Monday demanded that every slumdweller should get a 550 square feet home. The demand was made at a workshop organised by the RDC at Salave Garden,Kondhwa,regarding the Slum Rehabilitation Scheme. Addressing party workers,RDC president Shashikant Ghode said,The recent government annoucement of increasing FSI by 0.5 is of no use to the slum-dwellers. That is for the benefit of builders. We disagree with the decision. We demand that every slum-dweller must get 550 square feet home, he said. Overall there is a big amount of money involved,so we demand that the government release a white paper. The government should also declare as to which slum is allotted to the builder and his sons or relatives and the corporators,MLA or minister who are the partners. We have requested the chief minister to do the needful.
