DDA is really taking interest in various housing schemes. it has already cleared many housing projects in Delhi and surrounding areas and also the recently inaugurated expressway has changed the face of Delhi.
DDA plans to improve the public mechanisms with computerized and transparent systems in place, like the process of changing properties from leasehold to freehold. They are optimistic to shorten this process to 15 days which now takes 45 days… big thoughts!!!!
yes Pallav but the delay was because several key public services passing through the area had to be shifted and the required clearance from the railway ministry was also late. well the VC hopes to complete that by August 2014...
the new VC said that DDA housing has been valued mainly for price competitiveness which meets the requirements of ordinary citizens. Quality of construction is evaluated by a third party and there are clauses to penalize contractors But many a time the cause of delays lies within the authority.
yea..heard that he plans to update and compile the records so that applications can be processed faster..he plans to priorities the structural and functional changes to meet people’s ever-growing expectations..
DDA is known to faulter the deadlines often...and always the causes are varied like contractors failure, lack of proper infrastructure, non availability of land etc....
