New Delhi: The application forms for new housing
schemes of Delhi Development Authority (DDA) have been removed from the
official website. The website repeatedly crashed due to massive response to the
housing scheme. However the online forms would be available on the sites of the
authorised banks. The forms for the housing scheme went on sale from Monday.
"Application brochure/form can be collected
from the branches of the following banks. Also brochure/form can be downloaded
from the websites of these banks. Applicants can also apply online through the
websites of these banks," DDA said on its website.
The DDA website received a total of 11 lakh hits on
the day of the launch and 18.25 lakh hits in its total on Monday and Tuesday.
The DDA officials have already initiated the process of upgrading its server to
manage larger traffic.
"Since, our server cannot handle the extremely
heavy online traffic; we are redirecting the services to banks. Our homepage
has a new link 'DDA
Housing Scheme 2014' lower down the website, which directs the online
users to our 13 empanelled banks and URLs," said VS Tomar, director of
systems at DDA.
DDA launched it largest-ever scheme the 'DDA Housing
Scheme 2014' offering 25,034 flats, out of which 22,627 are one-bed room
apartments, a major draw for people this year.
