In the second phase of the auction, RHB broke the record by selling 1,213 houses in just 12 days through e-auctions.After the BJP govt came to power, the e-auction was on hold for almost a year before the board decided to resume the auctions for unsold properties.
“The board ensured wide publicity of this auction being held after a long time, as a result of which a large number of people participated in this auction. In the coming times also, through similar schemes from the Housing Board, the general public will get a chance to avail themselves of the benefits of such schemes in maximum numbers,” said housing commissioner Dr Rashmi Sharma. The e-auction will now be held again from October 7 to 9, 14 to 16, and 21 to 23.
