Camp to relocate pre-fab shelter occupants begins
Chandigarh, October 26
The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has started a camp for occupants of pre-fab shelters in Sector 52 and 56. The occupants will be shifted to EWS flats in Maloya-1. The allottees will be required to pay a monthly rent of Rs3,000.
Yashpal Garg, CEO of the CHB, said around 250 applicants attended the camp on the first day today to complete the documentation for the rental flat under the Central scheme. For better compliance of Covid protocols, the applicants would be called in a staggered manner.
“Entry of applicants is allowed inside the CHB premises in batches of 50 persons every hour for which schedule has been displayed at the site of the pre-fab shelters and on the CHB premises,” he said.
The camp would continue till Thursday. The remaining applicants might be called in the first week of November, he said.
He said the computerised draw would be made for allotment on a rental basis. The result of the draw would be pasted at the particular group of the pre-fab shelter at least three days before the actual shifting so that the occupants have sufficient time for packing their belongings.
He said arrangements were also being made at Maloya-I for handing over the possession of flats immediately after Diwali. — TNS
