Major revamp set in motion: Slums in city's centre to shift
Bhopal: Bhopal's central area is undergoing significant urban development changes, with plans to relocate slum settlements near Vallabh Bhawan to the Banganga area and other areas within 3 to 5 km in the vicinity, according to officials. Information suggests that nine slum settlements situated near Vallabh Bhawan will be shifted to Banganga, near Jinsi and other locations where estimated 14,000 permanent residences will be built through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement. The communities affected include Vallabh Nagar, Vallabh Nagar-2, Om Nagar, Bhim Nagar, Durga Nagar-1 and 2, Ashok Samrat Nagar, Kumharpura, and Jhada Colony. Initially intended for on-site redevelopment, these plans were cancelled due to their location near the high-security Vallabh Bhawan zone. The administration has identified govt land in Banganga for the new development in the project. Senior officials, including divisional commissioner Sanjeev Singh, collector Kaushlendra Vikram Singh, and Bhopal municipal corporation commissioner Harendra Narayan, have reviewed the proposal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trade gold CFDs with a trusted broker | Open an account today.

This relocation will release approximately 125 acres of land in central Bhopal. For the whole of the state capital, earlier in November, BMC began conducting computerised socio-economic surveys, including MIS entry of households in the identified slums. The initiative, part of JhuggiMukt Bhopal Yojana, encompasses 388 slums and over 1.5 lakh households, focusing on slum rehabilitation in the city with private participation. Following the identification phase, the slum land will be monetised. Many slums occupy valuable locations. Private developers will construct new housing for current residents while developing commercial spaces to ensure project sustainability.
