The Delhi Development Authority's (DDA's) 2017 housing scheme has managed to garner only 22,000 applicaions, with just four days left for the deadline, compared to the over 1 million applications it had received for its last housing scheme, which it launched in September 2014, the Financial Express reported on Friday while citing a senior DDA official.
