New Delhi: The new housing scheme for 12,000 flats of the Delhi Development Authority is likely to be rolled out very soon. The DDA has completed all the formalities and sent the proposal to lieutenant-governor Anil Baijal for his approval.

Out of the total number of flats, most of them in Rohini, Dwarka, Narela, Vasant Kunj and Jasola, 10,000 unoccupied flats are from the 2014 scheme, while the rest are other flats which have been lying vacant.

“We have completed all formalities from our side and the proposal has been sent to the L-G for the final nod. So, we are awaiting his response. If the L-G asks for some changes, we will effect them, otherwise the scheme stands the same,” said a senior DDA official.

Earlier, Mr Baijal, also chairman of the DDA, had instructed the authority to ensure that adequate public transport connectivity and other necessary basic infrastructure were available before the roll-out of the new scheme.

Early last month, the DDA had said the scheme would be launched soon after the completion of the civic polls.
