Retired IAS officer Anita Karwal has been appointed as the chairperson of the Gujarat Real Estate Regulatory Authority (GujRERA).
The post had been lying vacant since last November after the then chairman Amarjit Singh retired.
Regarding her appointment, Karwal said, “I am delighted to have been considered for this responsibility and happier for the opportunity given to me to work again for the development of Gujarat. I will take over as the chairperson of the Gujarat RERA authority shortly.”
The real estate developers’ association, Credai Ahmedabad, had also been demanding the appointment of GujRERA chairman since the post fell vacant eight months ago following Singh’s retirement.
After P J Patel, the only member secretary who handled project registrations, alterations and extensions, retired on July 7, all the RERA related processes came to a halt.
