But DDA Officials are claiming that streetlights get stolen whenever they are installed. They have replaced streetlights many times. But thieves continue to target them.

As far as water is concerned, DDA is saying that the infrastructure is in place, but the supply will start once people complete their construction.

Their points are also true but tell me one thing that how people will construct their houses if there is no water in the locality? DDA is strictly saying that they can't give water for construction. People will have to make their own arrangement. They will have to make arrangements for security as well as DDA is not responsible for it. They are ready to discoms to provide power connections as and when people apply for the same.

Good evening Pranay!!!
Tell me how will they live there? After 35 yrs. they have been allotted in an area which doesn't have basic facilities like water, streetlights, etc. You can't think of coming here alone during daytime. Then how can you expect people to reside in those localities?

Right Sukhpreet,
And those who have taken possession are unwilling to start construction. But DDA claims it has developed sectors 28, 29, 30 and parts of 34 but unable to maintain them due to the rising cases of theft. At the same time, the lack of streetlights, roads with open manhole have been a common feature in many pockets.

And most of the allottees complain that the land-owning authority didn't give them on-site possession of plots. They were asked to sign the papers in the DDA office. No one showed them the plot. Most of them had a tough time locating their plots.

Upset with DDA's careless attitude, allottees enacted a protest last Sunday. They followed that up with another protest at Jantar Mantar on March 27. Even if they decided to start construction work, they need some basic support. There is no water. Some people had constructed a 1/2 BHK set-up there just to get their property freehold. But those were destroyed by anti-social elements. The entire area is deserted and unsafe.

As many as 11000 people, who were allotted plots last year have mentioned lack of infrastructure and basic services as the prime reason for not taking possession.

Yes, it is approximately 35 yrs and many court cases later but the land-owing agency is yet to provide basic services like water and electricity in some sectors in Rohini where these plots were located.

Even i heard that last year, 11000 people were allotted plots in the developed sectors such as 28, 29, 30 and parts of 34.
