After a long hiatus, the state government has given its nod to another cluster redevelopment project - that of the century-old Botawala chawl in Masgaon. The redevelopment of the chawl is only the fifth such project to be sanctioned in three years since the rules for cluster scheme came in to force.

On Friday, the state urban development department issued final orders for the project after Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan gave his go-ahead. The project on a 4,721 sq mts plot in Masgaon will be carried out by Sarah Housing Development Ltd.
