DDA to hold draw of lots for special housing scheme on Monday

“It will be based on random number generation system and will be held in the presence of judges and senior officers of the DDA,” a senior official said. The general public can view the live telecast of the draw on a computer or a mobile phone at https://dda.Golivecast.In/, he said.

The maximum price of a flat is about Rs 2.14 crore in the HIG category in Jasola. The inventory consists of 205 HIG flats, 976 MIG flats, 11,452 LIG flats and 5,702 flats under the EWS/Janta flats category. Around 8,000 of these flats are in Narela and the remaining are spread around in areas like Rohini, Dwarka, Siraspur, Ramgarh, Lok Nayak Puram.

Previously, the last date to apply for the scheme was February 7. On public demand and in view of the third Covid wave, the date was extended till March 10, DDA had earlier said.

Even after extending the deadline, the DDA did not get an encouraging response from buyers, receiving only around 12,400 applications.

A senior DDA official said connectivity could be one of the reasons behind a large number of people not coming forward, but added that several new infrastructure projects including Knowledge City, Metro, third ring road would be coming up in areas like Narela soon.
