DDA's ‘Draw of lots’ further delayed due to technical glitches
According to Hindustan Times report, the housing authority this time too, is not going to meet its final deadline and has decided not to hold draw on November 14 which was set final date two days back.
The
housing
authority
says
it
is
facing
technical
glitches
due
to
which
it
is
not
able
to
carry
out
the
lucky
draw.
The
draw
which
was
initially
scheduled
for
November
5,
was
postponed
to
November
10
and
then
to
November
12.
Two
days
back,
the
DDA
set
the
final
deadline
of
Nov
14,
but
now,
this
time
too,
it
is
not
going
to
meet
the
latest
one.
This
time,
the
DDA
has
not
set
any
further
deadline
for
the
draw.
The housing authority has been carrying out trial runs of the draw since Monday at its headquarter Vikas Sadan, but facing technical problems.
"The
trial
runs
are
going
on
and
are
taking
a
lot
of
time
because
there
is
a
lot
of
data
to
be
processed.
We
have
been
facing
some
technical
glitches
too," DDA
Vice
Chairman
Balvinder
Kumar
was
quoted
as
saying
in
the
report.
The
Delhi
Development
Authority
(DDA)
for
the
first
time
has
planned
to
webcast
the
entire
event
live
on
YouTube,
and
so
the
run
serves
as
a
means
to
test
everything
in
working
conditions
so
as
to
avoid
any
glitches
later
on.
The webcast would be available for "unlimited" number of online users through the YouTube channel. The scheme, which was launched on September 1 had seen a massive response both online and offline, leading to DDA's website getting crashed within few hours on the opening day itself.
The last date for the scheme was October 9 but the date was extended till October 15 later. Till then 7.5 lakh applications were received. The number rose to 8.5 lakh a few days later as applications from far-flung bank branches reached the DDA headquarters (New Delhi) late.
