The action comes as the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) arm of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) races to clear Sector 6, where rehabilitation buildings are to be constructed.
Of around 3,300 homes in the sector, all but 2,200 have been vacated.
ANDPL has offered eligible ground-floor residents a monthly rent of Rs 18,000, while eligible upper-floor residents are being offered Rs 15,000 a month.
Even ineligible residents are being offered Rs 15,000 a month for one year on humanitarian grounds.
While rehabilitation buildings have begun coming up on railway land in Matunga, Sector 6 is slated to house a large number of DRP rehabilitation buildings.
