NEW DELHI: Over 1,000 people from the economically weaker sections, who had applied for flats in 1985, are set to get a house of their own after a long wait of 34 years.
Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board conducted a draw on Thursday to allot houses built in west Delhi’s Savda Ghewra and Nangloi areas.
According to a Delhi government statement, the draw was conducted in the presence of independent judges. “The scheme will provide houses to 1,073 applicants who have shown willingness to accept allotment at Savda Ghewra and Nangloi. The cost of these flats will be around Rs 12.5 lakh each.”
Officials said the applicants will be given three months to deposit the amount and possession of the flats will be given after the payment is made.
According to officials, 27,693 people had applied for EWS houses under the “Residential Flat Registration Scheme” launched by DDA in 1985 by paying Rs 3,000 as registration fee. The scheme was meant to provide affordable housing to low-income families willing to buy a flat at the market rate.
There were about 19,000 applicants still on the waiting list. “We had asked the applicants to give their consent for the allotment of house by depositing Rs 50,000. Of 1,150 who gave their consent, 1,073 have been shortlisted through a draw for allotment of flats,” a government official said.
