RESIDENTS of Signature ‘View Apartments in Mukherjee Nagar have begun moving out after the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) rolled out a rent assistance scheme for those vacating the unsafe housing complex.
The move comes months after the Delhi High Court ordered the demolition of the apartments, calling their condition life-threatening.
Under the scheme, families from three-bedroom flats are being given ₹50,000 per month, while those in two-bedroom units are receiving ₹38,000, according to the Resident Welfare Association (RWA).
