Dharavi project given to Gautam Adani to benefit him: Congress MP
UPDATED: Sep 25, 2024 18:18 IST
Congress MP Varsha Gaikwad accused the Maharashtra government of giving the Dharavi redevelopment project to Industrialist Gautam Adani for benefitting him while speaking at the India Today Conclave on Wednesday.
The redevelopment of Dharavi, Asia’s largest slum, has faced numerous setbacks since the state government first proposed an action plan in 2004. Despite multiple failed attempts to attract bidders over the years, the Adani Group won the bid in November 2023 to redevelop 645 acres of prime land in central Mumbai.

Gender segregation, no music rules at 'Islam-friendly' Kerala gym spark row
A major controversy has erupted in Kerala's Palakkad district after a fitness centre announced plans to operate as an Islamic-friendly facility. The proposed model includes strict gender segregation, with separate workout hours and trainers for men and women, alongside a complete ban on loud music. Following widespread online criticism, the initial announcement video was deleted. A subsequent clarification video stated that the fitness centre remains open to individuals of all religious backgrounds and is not restricted to the Muslim community. The initiative aims to accommodate individuals who avoid traditional fitness centres due to religious principles regarding music and mixed-gender environments. Local police authorities have confirmed that no official complaints have been filed against the facility. Administration officials stated that legal action or intervention can only occur if a formal complaint is registered and if the facility's operations are found to violate existing laws. The incident continues to generate debate regarding progressive values and religious accommodations in public spaces.
