There was heavy demand for the flats in Narela and Rohini also. DDA for the first time in its history, has issued 945 demand letters online to all those who have booked the flats in the last 24 hours, the Authority said.
According to figures provided by the DDA, 435 flats were booked in Narela, 50 in Dwarka, 475 in Rohini, 10 in Siraspur, 16 in Jasola and 29 in Lok Nayak Puram.
Registrations for the scheme offering over 5,600 flats in Dwarka, Jasola, Narela, Siraspur, Rohini and Lok Nayak Puram started on June 30 and bookings opened at 12 PM on July 10.
“Within few hours after opening of the booking, over 650 flats were booked and it is still continuing at brisk pace. Over 300 flats were booked at Rohini, over 200 at Narela while entire 50 flats of Dwarka were completely sold out.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, who is also chairman of DDA, is personally monitoring the agency’s housing policy and had asked for various steps to be taken to make the flats more attractive to homebuyers. Connectivity and security measures have been improved in Narela, while many infrastructure projects are coming up in the sub-city, the authority said.
