The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has issued an eviction notice to the residents of Signature View Apartment in northwest Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar, asking them to vacate the society by Monday (December 25) declaring it unfit for human habitation.1

The decision to dismantle the towers was taken on the advice of a structural consultant engaged by the DDA after the residents complaints of poor-quality construction.

RWA president Amrendra Kumar Rakesh said that they want rent to be released by the DDA on eviction.2

The DDA had earlier offered to pay the residents rent only if all 336 flats are vacated. The RWA cited inability to get all the flat-owners to handover their keys at once, and requested the authority to bring down the 100 per cent vacation clause to 75 per cent.
