The DDA, in its meeting chaired by Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena, who is also Chairman, DDA, took these decisions.
In a move that would go a long way in meeting the housing needs of the residents of the city, especially those belonging to the Economically Weaker Sections and poorest of the poor, the authority approved launching of three housing schemes which include 25 per cent discount for building and construction workers, including beneficiaries of PM-Vishwakarma Scheme, in Narela and for other disadvantaged sections of society in Siraspur, Narela and Loknayak Puram.
The other disadvantaged sections include auto-rickshaw drivers (permit holders), cab drivers, women, and persons from SC/ST categories, war widows, persons with disabilities, ex-servicemen, and gallantry award recipients including PM-SVAnidhi Scheme.
Addressing the meeting, the Lt Governor said nobody till now had given a serious thought to the housing needs of the poorest of the poor in the City.
He underlined that construction workers, who constructed houses for millions of others did not have a roof over their own head and were forced to live in tents and shanties.
"This decision of the Authority will go on to prove a monumental turning point in the lives of such people, who would be able to live a life of dignity and earn their livelihood," he emphasised.
