Chandigarh, August 26:
Punjab Chief Minister S. Bhagwant Mann led state government is mulling to develop Urban Estates in Bathinda for providing affordable residential spaces equipped with state-of-the-art amenities.
Disclosing this here, Punjab Housing and Urban Development Minister Mr. Aman Arora said that for creating modern and planned township in Bathinda, the Bathinda Development Authority (BDA) has invited applications from eligible applicants for applying against the demand survey to develop Urban Estates Phase-6 & 7 on Mansa Road, Bathinda. He said that plots ranging from 100-500 sq.yds of size are proposed to be developed at these sites and have been tentatively priced at Rs.12,000/- per sq. yd.
The applicant should be of 18 years of age on the date of submission of application. The last date for applying in this demand survey has been scheduled for September 2, 2022.
While divulging the details of the demand survey, the spokesperson of the Housing and Urban Development department said that the BDA shall retain the applications for a period of maximum two years, if it gets the response to this demand survey. The Authority would develop the urban estates during this period. However, in case the Authority withdraws the scheme or could not develop the urban estates in two years time from the date of closing of the demand survey, the application money shall be refunded to the applicants within three months after two years from the closing date of this Demand Survey.
The Authority has made it clear that half of the total plots under quota of BDA of each size shall be reserved for allotment to the applicants of this Demand Survey in case a scheme inviting applications from general public is launched. Also, as the Authority is conducting this demand survey to check the demand of plots in the areas where sites are situated, the rates/sizes offered in the demand survey have been kept tentative which may vary when the scheme is announced, he added.
Those interested to apply under the demand survey can collect the application form from the BDA office situated at Bathinda or can also download from the website of the Authority i.e. www.bdabathinda.in, and applications submitted on plain paper will also be accepted, the spokesperson added.
He further informed that as far as the submission of the applications is concerned, applicants have the option either to submit in person or by registered post to the office of Estate Officer BDA at Bathinda along with a demand draft of Rs.5000 as application money in favour of Estate Officer, Bathinda Development Authority and payable at Bathinda along with the application. To facilitate the applicants, HDFC bank has also been associated in the scheme.
