Goa Housing Board (GHB) has announced plans to conduct online auctions and allotments of plots and tenements to streamline the process.
“The cumbersome process of auction and allotment of plots and tenements is proposed to be simplified and made more transparent by migrating the entire process onto a well-developed software and implementing online auction by giving wide publicity to the plots and tenements to be auctioned,” GHB chairman Subhash Shirodkar said.
He said that e-auctioning will enable Goans to participate in the process without having to attend the auction physically, and will also enable widespread participation owing to reduced paperwork. The software is being developed by Goa Electronics Ltd.
Shirodkar said that GHB will auction plots at Mapusa (2), Madel-Tivim (32), Farmagudi-Ponda (11), Poddecem, Sattari (35), Shristhal-Canacona (70), Xeldem-Quepem (33) so as to provide an opportunity to Goans to own plots and construct housing facilities at affordable rates.
GHB will also auction vacant tenements for disposal at various locales, which include tenement (flats/shops/offices) at Bordem-Bicholim (12 single bed, 18 double bed and 12 shops), Colvale (7 single room, kitchen), Sancoale (7 single room, kitchen), Rumdamol-Davorlim (37 single bedroom flats and 11 shops), Porvorim (24 double bedroom flats), and Baina Vasco (13 shops), he said
