NEW DELHI: Delhi Development Authority will build 8,064 flats for slum dwellers at A-14, Kalkaji, in south Delhi. Construction for the mega slum rehabilitation project is expected to begin within a month or two. Sources said tenders have already been floated. "We will award this work soon," said a DDA official.

Work will be taken up in phases and the first phase will involve construction of about 2,200 flats. Details are still being worked out, but each building will have 15-16 floors. Sources say vertical growth is necessary to make the project feasibile. In phase-I, flats will be built on an empty plot near a slum.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation is going to construct an underground subway across the busy Pankha Road in West Delhi to connect its Dabri Mor Metro station on the upcoming Janakpuri West – Botanical Garden corridor with the localities on the other side of the road.

A statement by DMRC said this subway will come up just before the Dabri Mor circle on the left side of Pankha Road. Thus entry to Dabri Mor station would be provided from both sides of Pankha Road.

NGO urges L-G to strop misuse of green areas

To meet the increasing demand for housing in the Capital, the Delhi Development Authority has decided to change land use of a marshland in Dheerpur and announced a housing project for the Delhi Police on the site. Incidentally, the same marshland had been designated as a green area in 2010, after the environment department declined to allow a housing project at the site on the grounds that the designated area is fit for water harvesting.

A huge tract of land in Masjid Moth Phase-I, originally intended to be used as a park, has become a dump yard of sorts, much to the chagrin of residents of the adjacent DDA colony.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday asked the directors of Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) Delhi and Roorkee to find out measures to check pollution of the Yamuna.
