Janata Colony

or People's colony was a settlement that was set up as 'Squatters Colony' by Bombay Municipal Corporation during the late 1940s by forcibly evicting pavement dwellers from several parts of the city including Carnac Bunder, Sion, Matunga, Mahim. In the year 1948 (September, 8th) BMC passed a resolution about clearing the slums in the city in the next ten years but the same could not be taken up as there was no financial stability in the city due to the war.
