Sources said that process of allotting small individual residential plots in New Town will take place almost after eight years. A few acres of bulk land for residential purposes have been allotted in the last few years but it was last in 2008 during the previous Left run government’s time that small plots were distributed for individual residential plot seekers in the township. Sources said that the Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation will soon start on the process to float tenders to invite bidders for the plots.
