  "account": "The Maharashtra government has set the maximum construction cost for flats to be built for police personnel who moved into B.D.D. chawls after January 1, 2011, at up to ₹1.48 crore. This decision was made after the Home Department issued a Government Resolution (GR) on October 29. Eligible police officers, their staff, and legal heirs residing in the Worli, Naigaon, and N.M. Joshi Marg B.D.D. chawls will receive 500 sq ft rehabilitation tenements by paying the determined construction cost. The cost varies per location, being the highest at ₹1.48 crore for Worli, followed by ₹72.25 lakh for Naigaon and ₹86.30 lakh for N.M. Joshi Marg.\n\nPreviously, a similar policy allowed the allotment of ownership flats in 2021 at a construction cost of Rs 15 lakh. However, the state court later ordered builders and two firms to pay ₹4.10 crore to seven members of the Bhatia family, who moved into the chawls after the initial cut-off date.\n\nAs of now, 538 rehabilitation flats are expected to be available for the Police Department post-redevelopment of the three chawl clusters. Out of these, 223 tenements have been certified as eligible by the Commissioner of Police, Brihanmumbai - 123 in Worli, 84 in Naigaon, and 16 in N.M. Joshi Marg. These 223 flats will be allotted on an ownership basis after recovering the revised construction cost. The remaining 315 rehabilitated tenements will be provided to the Commissioner of Police, Brihanmumbai for departmental use.",
