4-tier grievance redressal mechanism for Dharavi Redevelopment Project launched
A four-tier grievance redressal mechanism has been launched to deal with the grievances raised by the residents over their eligibility or representation in the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP) in Mumbai. The system is meant to give a one-window process to residents for raising and fixing issues without going from office to office. 'We want every resident of Dharavi to benefit from the redevelopment project. If any resident feels that they have been wrongly left out of Annexure-II, or there has been a mistake in the survey, we will ensure their concerns are heard fairly and resolved quickly,' said SVR Srinivas, CEO, DRP. The procedure will start after the Draft Annexure-II is released. The residents will have to raise their objections with the competent authority first. If the issue is still not resolved even after the Final Annexure-II is released, then the complainant may appeal through the four-step process. 'The first stage includes the Appellate Officer (AO), who will look into the grievance and provide a response within a given time frame. If the resident is not satisfied with the AO's ruling, the case can be heard by the Grievance Redressal Committee (GRC), consisting of senior DRP officials who were not part of the original survey process. 'If the case still doesn't get resolved, at level three comes the Appellate Committee, led by an Additional Collector who is also not a subordinate of the DRP CEO. This guarantees administrative independence and fairness in decision-making. Thereafter, if the issue remains unresolved, the residents can complain to the Apex Grievance Redressal Committee (AGRC),' the DRP CEO said. 'The AGRC is a quasi-judicial body. Although it works like a court, the cases are cleared faster because the AGRC was set up specifically for DRP-related issues,' Srinivas added. According to the officials, this process has the purpose of making sure that every citizen who is eligible from Dharavi gets a chance to be incorporated and no valid claim is left behind as the project moves forward.

World War II pilot from Bountiful accounted for nearly 80 years after death on warfront
SALT LAKE CITY () — Nearly 80 years after his death on the European Theater of World War II, a Bountiful pilot has been accounted for. , Jr. of Bountiful, Utah, was just 22 when he was killed on the war front. Wilson was one of nine crew members flying on a B-17G Flying Fortress that took off on a bombing mission on July 8, 1944. That bomber, which Wilson was piloting, was struck by anti-aircraft fire before it went down near Monchy-Cayeux, France. Surviving crew members of the crash reported Wilson had been hit by flak and was still on board when the aircraft crashed. Starting in 1946, the American Graves Registration Command (AGRC) searched for and recovered fallen American personnel in the European Theater. AGRC had received information from Wilson's crew members detailing the crash, but there was no evidence that the crash site was ever visited. None of the recovered Unknowns – or World War II soldiers who have not been identified – were ever associated with Wilson, and he was declared 'non-recoverable' in 1951. However, in July 2018, a member of Wilson's family provided the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) with new information about the crash site. One of Wilson's family members traveled to France and met with witnesses who remembered the crash. The very next year, DPAA investigators visited the crash site. That investigation found a wreck they said was consistent with a B-17 bomber, which was then recommended for excavation. The first excavation was completed in 2021, with a second excavation being completed in 2022. All evidence from both excavations was then sent to the DPAA laboratory for analysis. Lt. Wilson was finally accounted for in November 2024 after a thorough anthropological analysis as well as analysis of mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome DNA, and autosomal DNA. Lt. Wilson's name is listed among those on the Walls of the Missing at Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer, France. To indicate that he has finally been accounted for, a rosette will be placed next to his name. The DPAA also alerted Wilson's family to his identity and recovery. His remains will be transferred to Utah where he will be buried in a Bountiful cemetery in July 2025.
