condition of the 484 flats in Vasant Kunj, which were still under
construction in Yamuna and Ganga blocks with exposed wires and broken
furniture strewn all over.

in some of the flats. We hope to have the Yamuna and Ganga towers ready
by December.”
Officials from DDA are expected to visit Dwarka and Rohini housing complexes also.

take time. Meanwhile, we have asked discoms to expedite work of
providing power connections to the complexes,” said the official.

Mukherjee Nagar where allottees were given possession in June, though
the flats were not in a liveable condition. Four engineers were
