A 22 cottah plot of land in Rajarhat, Kolkata has been sold out to set up a polyclinic cum daycare centre has drawn Rs 6.85 crore in an auction. November 9 was the last day of application.
The New Town lacks polyclinics and hospitals, so the residents have to depend on neighbouring areas. To bring relief to the lives of the residents, Hidco planned to sell the land for a polyclinic.
Rajarhat New Town had the highest ever land auction in August this year. The land selling in that area has broken the records in terms of per acre price.
The government had put nine plots ranging between 20 cottah and 2 acres for sale through conventional bidding out of which seven of them were sold for a huge amount. The civic body has been successfully sold the plots for commercial purposes. Hidco is also selling the plots through e-auction.
