The state government has issued work orders for 81,000 houses for mill workers in Shelue and Vangani. However, workers are dissatisfied with the fixed price of 9.5 lakh rupees and are demanding it be reduced to 6 lakh rupees. While the Shelue project is supported by some unions, the distance from Mumbai and lack of infrastructure remain concerns. The Girni Kamgar Sangharsh Samiti has vowed to follow up with the government to ensure affordable housing for workers. https://www.loksatta.com/mumbai/shelu-mill-workers-housing-project-price-reduction-demand-work-order-issued-mumbai-print-news-rds-00-5906091/ #creator program
