Tight security for DDA draw in Noida

NOIDA: Two battalions of PAC and policemen will be deployed at the office of C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advance Computing) in sector 62, where the draw of DDA flats is scheduled, on Monday to make the much-awaited event hassle-free. According to senior police officers, security forces will be deployed in and around the area by 6am and a specific area near the C-DAC office will be cordoned off. Since the draw is being held on the first day of the week, the Noida traffic police have chalked out an alternative route diversion plan, which will be implemented on Monday if required.

Gautambudh Nagar senior superintendent of police S N Singh said a team of senior police officers is handling the security arrangements. On Sunday, the team visited the location. "We have been told that only a few applicants would visit the spot as the results will be uploaded on DDA's website," he said.

"DDA has given a list of visitors. Visitors, including the draw panellists, retired judges and DDA senior officials and selected mediapersons, will be allowed to enter the premises. A special pass has been issued to those who are authorized to gain access to the premises," he added. The draw will start by 8am.

Around 7.53 lakh applicants are vying for the flats located in areas like Vasant Kunj, Mukherjee Nagar, Motia Khan, Jasola, Dwarka, Rohini, Narela, Jaffarabad, Kondli and Gharoli.
