This is due to two reasons: Firstly, some of these buildings are still under construction and secondly, a case filed by Karamchari Niwara and Kalyankari Sangh, an NGO representing mill workers, asking how MHADA plans to allot flats to 1.48 lakh workers when it has space for just 11,977, stops the authority from giving possession until court order. The authority is constructing buildings on the land of six mills.

In the last week of April, Bombay High Court gave MHADA three weeks’ time to come up with an answer as to how will it allot housing. While the third and last phase of lottery, which will be conducted in August, will have 2,418 awardees, the other two saw lotteries being awarded to 6,925 and 2,634 people.
