Delhi LG Sandhu directs DDA to ensure timely completion of its Karkardooma complex

New Delhi: Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu on Tuesday conducted an on-ground review of the progress of development works at the East Delhi Hub in Karkardooma and directed DDA to complete all pending clearances and ensure timely completion of its 'DDA Towering Heights' housing complex.

The complex is a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) project of the Delhi Development Authority (DDA).

"During the visit, the lieutenant governor inspected the residential towers, civic amenities and surrounding green spaces and reviewed the status of various works, which are at the final stage of completion. Directing the DDA and the executing agency to work in seamless coordination, he called for expediting all pending statutory clearances and ensuring timely completion and handover," the DDA said in a statement.

Sandhu also reviewed the finishing works in the residential towers and took stock of the pending activities required for completion and handover of the project.

The LG said East Delhi would emerge as a benchmark for sustainable and compact urban living, describing the project as an important step towards the vision of Viksit Dilli.

"Spread over approximately 30 hectares, the East Delhi Hub is a major urban development initiative of the DDA. It is being developed as an integrated urban centre combining residential, commercial and civic spaces, with an emphasis on sustainability, walkability and public transport connectivity," the DDA further said.

Under Phase-I, the DDA launched its premium housing scheme, 'DDA Towering Heights' last year, comprising 1,026 premium 2BHK apartments. The tallest residential tower in the project rises to 48 storeys and approximately 155 metres, making it the tallest residential building in Delhi.
