Residents of Sector 1 in Dharavi will hold a signature campaign on 17 and 18 October at the Matunga Labour Camp to bring their concerns about the Dharavi Redevelopment Project to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The campaign demands public disclosure of the master plan, a formal process for public suggestions and objections, written clarification on the Key-to-Key promise, protection of rehabilitation and housing rights, a permanent alternate accommodation agreement, and transparency in survey and rehabilitation records.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The signature campaign shows that residents of Sector 1 are not convinced by assurances given so far. By targeting the chief minister directly, they are trying to escalate the issue beyond local project authorities. The demands for written clarification and public disclosure indicate a lack of trust in verbal promises. The Key-to-Key promise, which is central to relocation terms, remains a flashpoint. The next step is the campaign itself on 17 and 18 October, after which the government's response will determine whether the project moves forward or faces organised resistance.
