Delhi’s lift policy was meant to make life easier for the elderly, but it’s pitted neighbours against each other. Some need lifts for mobility, others fear losing light and privacy.
A DDA flat was a privilege in a city where almost nobody could build anything. Its inventory of unsold flats now exceeds 40,000 at a value of Rs 18,000 crore, and it's still building more.
Delhi Development Authority has been left with 16,000 unsold houses, with another 24,000 yet to be put on sale. It has now fixed revenue target at Rs 4,600 cr for upcoming housing scheme.
Delhi Development Authority officials say the likely awareness building will include education on 'proper disposal of waste & its segregation at source”, as well as need for schooling for kids.
While the proposals increase maximum remunerative component given to developers to 50% from current 40%, minimum plot area for rehabilitation reduced to 50% from present 60%.
Delhi Development Authority awaits housing ministry nod to implement relaxation. Moved aimed at ensuring that fresh housing stock does not go unsold while old inventory is piling up.
While the Russia-Ukraine war saw the BJP projecting PM Modi as a ‘vishwaguru’ who could end international conflicts, the party has made a nuanced shift in its electoral strategy vis-à-vis the West Asia war.
It’s easy to understand why the government can’t speak the hard truth. When this war ends, as all wars do, India’s interests will lie with both the winner and the loser.
A balanced piece. The point is lift should be built in blind sight and as far as accommodate those who live on ground floor. Light and ventilation is a real issue and not a flimsy one.
It should not be that might is right. The policy itself is flawed. The ground floor owner paid extra money for the apartment and why should he suffer.
I cannot believe a news site has done this… A media company is supposed to be unbiased but showing such a one sided story does not seem very unbiased media like. Where are the interviews from anyone suffering and in actual need of access. Where are the interviews from people on the third floor ..?
