“In two days,
I have been told, over 7,000 people visited the DDA office for a
variety of issues. My endeavour is to make sure people can get their
work done without having to go to DDA,” said Srivastava in his first
briefing to the media.

The vice-chairman said that the process
of conversion from leasehold to freehold will be totally computerized so
that citizens do not have to repeatedly visit DDA for such conversion.
“A software has been developed for the process and soon we will be able
to launch it. At present, test runs are being done. Through this
software, any person will be able to apply online for conversion from
anywhere in the world. He/she will be able to track the status and also
get full deficiencies through emails. This will benefit thousands of
allottees,” said officials.

Srivastava also said that a more effective
consumer grievance redressal forum will be developed wherein a system
will be developed where a consumer does not have to visit a DDA office
repeatedly.Housing remains a prime concern where most of the
flats conceived by DDA are either still in construction stage or at
tender stage. Houses for economically-weaker sections (EWS) remain a
prime concern. “20,000 EWS flats have been taken up at Dwarka and
Rohini, about 25,000 at tender stage and many more are at conceptual
stage. The target of completion of one lakh houses within a period of
three years has been set up and I will ensure that this target is
achieved timely.
