A land parcel in Sector 23A that hit the headlines recently for being fraudulently purchased for Rs 600 will now be auctioned with opening bid for Rs 7 crore. The Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) has started the e-auctioning procedure. The plot’s reserve price has been set at Rs 7.33 crore. The 500 sq yard plot was first sold through e-auction in 2021-2022.
A resident of Palam Vihar had participated in the e-auction for a plot. The bid went up to Rs 4.89 crore. The plot was then allotted in the name of his wife Nishu.
