New Delhi: Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and project agency NBCC to speed up pending statutory clearances and ensure the timely completion and handover of the East Delhi Hub at Karkardooma. He reviewed the project on November 10 with local MLA O.P. Sharma, senior officials and engineers.
Sandhu reviewed work on residential towers, civic facilities and green spaces. He asked the two agencies to coordinate the remaining work. His update gave no new date for the handover.
The East Delhi Hub is a 30-hectare development planned around public transport. It combines housing, commercial space and civic facilities beside the Karkardooma interchange, where Delhi Metro’s Blue and Pink lines meet.
The DDA’s first-phase Towering Heights scheme offered 1,026 two-bedroom flats. The agency’s project material describes about 20,000 square metres of landscaped green space.
