DDA scheme 2014: Allottees unhappy with 'smaller than store room-size' flats

Hindustan Times  

They had felt they were fortune’s favoured children when, from among lakhs of applicants, their names had been picked out in a draw of lots for the Delhi Development Authority’s Housing Scheme 2014. Since it was impossible to fit my bed or any of my furniture in that pigeonhole, I decided to return the flat to DDA," an allottee said.When this writer visited two of the areas where the DDA apartments were located – Dwarka and Rohini – she found that the apartments barely covered 33 sq m.A miniature toilet, a bath and a kitchen – all in a row – led to a tiny bedroom with a small balcony.The kitchen, bath and toilet, are so small that a person cannot move around comfortably. HT photo More than 1,500 successful DDA scheme applicants have surrendered their apartments in Rohini, Sector 34, Narela and Dwarka, Sector 23-B. The sizes of most of the units in Dwarka and Rohini are between 30 sq m to 40 sq m. HT Photo “Most of the applicants had filled up forms without seeing the apartments. Most important, since the clause preventing buyers from selling their units for five years has been imposed in the 2014 scheme, many people have opted to surrender the apartments unless they need it for themselves,” Kumar adds.
