nature faced by Delhi Development Authority (DDA) applicants, as
well as shortcomings in the mechanism for redressal of
grievances in it. The problems mainly relate to delays

money, change of address, issue of demand-cum-allotment letters,
possession letters, etc. and inadequate response from DDA to
redress the grievances. DDA has initiated action and
examination in depth of cases of delay in public dealing
departments. Several short term and long term measures have
been initiated by DDA to train its work force, introduce
computerization and e-governance as well as exercising strict
vigilance at all levels.

system within the Accounts Wing or any other Departments of DDA.
Whenever instances of individual failure are noticed, action is

to book.
(e)&(f): The DDA has reported that 967 representations with
respect to the DDA were received in the Prime Minister`s Office
from January, 1999 to June, 2001. Action on them has been
taken. As mentioned above, DDA has initiated examination in
depth of cases of delay in public dealing departments and
several short term and long term measures to train its work
force, introduce computerization and e-governance as well as
exercising strict vigilance at all levels.
