NBCC has awarded the project to Girdhari Lal Constructions and Altis Holding Corporation joint venture. A ‘bhoomi pujan’ was conducted at the project site on Wednesday.
Nirmala Sitharaman said the move would help start work on 12 lakh houses as well as complete 18 lakh houses. This would create 78 lakh new jobs as well as demand for steel and cement.
“As the errant builders were showing this interim order and were preventing the demolition of even those patently illegal buildings, we brought this anomaly to the notice of the court,” said Sivaraju Srinivas, the counsel for the petitioner.
The court said this while issuing a direction to the DVAC to conduct an inquiry into the properties possessed by a government school teacher who had obtained free pattas for himself and his family members.
