In order to ease day-to-day business/operation, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has come out with a number of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) with replies for various public dealing departments like housing, land disposal, land management, sports, master plan, etc. The DDA has uploaded the same on its website. The authority officials said that through these FAQs an attempt has been made to clarify and put in public domain the nitty-gritties of important transactions like conversion, mutation, change of name, address etc.
“The answers provide clarifications about misgivings which may arise in dealing in layman’s language. Regarding the master plan, since it is a technical document, and is difficult to decode, FAQ on various Development Control Norms, provisions related to construction, planning, etc have been explained. These FAQs will ensure ready availability of information in easy language which can be comprehended by a common man regarding various rules, regulations, procedures etc,” said the official. He further elaborated that FAQs on housing satisfy the enquiry related to flats, choice of locality, eligibility criterion, where and how to apply for conversion, whom to report in case of misuse, etc. Similarly, land Disposal deals with the allotment of commercial land, industrial land and residential land, conversion and mutation cases.
“FAQs on land management (which is a vacant plot on the website) contain details on the measures to be undertaken in cases of encroachment and the responsible authority for eviction,” added the official.
