[h=1]Design tweak: DDA to merge 1BHKs, make flats spacious[/h] [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Sidharatha-Roy-479249165.cms"]Sidharatha Roy[/URL]| TNN | Updated: Feb 25, 2018, 03:50 IST [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/thumb/msid-63061163,width-400,resizemode-4/63061163.jpg[/IMG](Representative image) NEW DELHI: With its small one-bedroom [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/flats"]flats[/URL] failing to find any takers in two successive housing schemes, the [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Delhi-Development-Authority"]Delhi Development Authority[/URL] ([URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/DDA"]DDA[/URL]) is now planning to tweak the design of these flats to make them more [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/spacious"]spacious[/URL]. The land owning agency is toying with the idea of breaking the walls dividing two one-bedroom flats and merging them to form a two-bedroom flat, thereby making them more attractive to buyers. [IMG]https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/img/63062114/Master.jpg[/IMG] In its 2017 [URL="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/housing-scheme"]housing scheme[/URL], DDA had put on offer 12,617 flats, for which it had received more than 46,000 applications. However, within a month of allotment of these flats to successful applicants, more than 3,000 surrendered their flats. The allottees were chosen in a draw of lot and most of those who were allotted one-bedroom flats in areas such as Narela, Siraspur, etc, chose to surrender them. The number of requests for surrender or cancellation of allotments of flats from applicants reached the figure of 5,661 very soon, as informed by the Union minister of housing and urban affairs Hardeep Singh Puri to Rajya Sabha in January this year. The reason cited by applicants for surrendering the flats was primarily their small size, apart from the lack of basic amenities. Many of these flats were the ones that were surrendered in DDA�s 2014 housing scheme too. DDA had put the flats again on offer during the 2017 housing scheme. After failing to elicit interest among allottees for one-bedroom flats in two consecutive housing schemes, DDA is now exploring options to make these flats more attractive and liveable by tweaking their design. �We are exploring architectural and technical possibilities to make these flats better,� JP Agarwal, principal commissioner (land disposal and housing), DDA told TOI. Agarwal said that officials from DDA�s architecture and engineering departments are working on changing the layout of these flats to make them more spacious, while confirming to building norms. �As the construction area of the flats will remain the same, we are also exploring the possibility of merging two LIG (lower income group) flats into one MIG (middle income group) flat,� he added. If the usual carpet area of an LIG or one-bedroom flat is 33 square metres, after merger two flats, DDA would be able to offer a 66 square metre two-bedroom flat, which would be more spacious and hopefully more attractive to buyers, said a DDA official.

[h=1]Contractors to face action for delaying work in illegal colonies[/h] [URL="http://www.thehindu.com/profile/author/Press-Trust-of-India/"][IMG]http://www.thehindu.com/static/theme/default/base/img/author-deafault.png[/IMG][/URL][URL="http://www.thehindu.com/profile/author/Press-Trust-of-India/"]Press Trust of India[/URL] NEW DELHI, FEBRUARY 25, 2018 00:00 IST UPDATED: FEBRUARY 25, 2018 03:48 IST The Irrigation and Flood Control Department is headed by Minister Gopal Rai.file photo [h=2]AAP govt. asks officials to finish projects within time frame[/h] In order to speed up development works in all unauthorised colonies, the Irrigation and Flood Control Department has directed imposition of penalty on contractors for any delay in completing projects. The department, headed by Minister Gopal Rai, has asked officials to take steps to ensure that all projects, which are being executed, are completed within the time frame prescribed in the work order. The move came a day after Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Deputy CM Manish Sisodia directed officials concerned to speed up the pace of the development works in unauthorised colonies in the national Capital. �Appropriate action will be initiated against the contractors including imposition of penalty for not completing the work as per time schedule,� an official said. In Delhi, there are around 1,600 unauthorised colonies whose residents play a vital role in deciding the fate of any political party in elections. The government directive comes at a time when the city is staring at likely bypolls following the disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs by the Election Commission (EC) for allegedly holding office of profit. The party has challenged the EC�s order in the Delhi High Court. [B]Review the progress[/B] The official said that a fortnightly review meeting will be held in the chamber of the chief engineers to review the progress of each and every project with superintending engineer concerned of the circle. �Besides, a similar protocol of review of all the cases on weekly basis will be followed by the superintending engineer with executive engineer,� an official said. Any laxity in compliance of the order will be viewed seriously and action will be taken against the entire erring officer, the official said. �In cases, where the circumstances of delay are beyond the control of the department, a fresh timeline will be prescribed after taking into consideration all the constraints in the process of execution of the project. �It will be the responsibility of superintending and executive engineers to ensure the project is completed within revised time-line,� official also said.
