Delhi govt plan to Build 27000 MIG Flats

For the first time Delhi Urban Shelter Improvement Board (DUSIB) will be constructing houses for the middle class. DUSIB has officially announced that the body will be constructing 27,000 flats in west and outer Delhi, which will be allotted to the applicants chosen in a draw of lots.

“It was there in the manifesto of AAP and as soon as they joined the government, we were asked to prepare a proposal. It has been decided that 14-storey residential apartments will be constructed with each flat having a built-up area of 1,000 square metres,” said a DUSIB official.

In their poll manifesto, the AAP had said that the party will redevelop around 200 acres of land owned by the DUSIB and lying unused in Savda Ghevra in Mundka in west Delhi and Bhalaswa in outer Delhi. “The party knew about this land and we have conducted a survey. There will be two categories of flats — LIG-1 and LIG-2 — and since the flats will measure 1,000 square metres, they will have two bedrooms, a hall and a kitchen. The draw of lots can be done on the lines of the procedure followed by the DDA,” the official added.

In the proposal, the DUSIB has also talked about the connectivity in these areas and lack of basic amenities. “Flats of DDA in Narela are lying vacant and we do not want the same here. The flats constructed by us will be of good quality and we will ensure proper water and power supply. Security aspect will also be considered,” the official said.

The cost of the flat has not been decided yet, but according to sources, it could be between Rs. 25 lakh and Rs. 40 lakh.
