DDAs land licensing model bags Rs 10,000 cr deal
New Delhi, Aug 16 (PTI) The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has awarded the first project under its new Special License Property (SLP) initiative to Fleur Hotels, a subsidiary of Lemon Tree Hotels, officials said on Saturday. The project is expected to generate approximately Rs 10,000 crore over a 55-year period. 'DDA had invited bids through a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued on May 2, 2025, for a 2-acre land parcel in Nehru Place earmarked for a five-star hotel. The bidding process, conducted on August 13, saw Fleur Hotels secure the project with an annual license fee offer of Rs 27.19 crore, about 50 per cent higher than the reserve price of Rs 18 crore," DDA said in a statement. This marks a major shift in DDA's land disposal policy. Moving away from the traditional freehold and perpetual lease models, the SLP initiative allows long-term development on an annual license basis. Reforms set into motion last year by Lt Governor VK Saxena, have yielded spectacular results in terms of revenue generation for the DDA even while facilitating the much needed developments in the capital, the statement added. According to officials, the Rs 10,000-crore revenue estimate includes annual fee escalations over the 55-year license term. 'This new model is expected to significantly boost DDA's income, while facilitating key infrastructure development across hospitality, healthcare, logistics, and retail sectors," the statement added. The project awarded to Fleur Hotels will see the development of 'Aurika" at Nehru Place, one of Delhi's largest luxury hotels with over 500 rooms. Lemon Tree Hotels, which operates more than 110 properties in over 75 cities, plans to bring its upscale brand experience to the Capital through this venture.

Boost for beekeepers: Haryana CM Nayab Saini announces inclusion of honey in Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana
KURUKSHETRA: In an important step for the welfare of farmers and beekeepers, Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday announced that honey will now be brought under the Bhavantar Bharpai Yojana (BBY), on the lines of horticulture crops. The move aims to ensure fair prices for honey producers while promoting scientific beekeeping as a profitable venture across the state. Addressing a state-level workshop on beekeeping at Ramnagar in Kurukshetra, CM Saini also declared that a honey sales and storage facility will soon be established at the Integrated Beekeeping Development Centre (IBDC), Ramnagar, with arrangements for quality testing. To further support this initiative, the government will set up a Quality Control Laboratory at a cost of Rs 20 crore. The Ramnagar institute, developed in collaboration with Israel, will be elevated to the status of a national-level centre for advanced and scientific research in apiculture, the CM said. Highlighting the role of beekeeping in strengthening rural incomes, CM Saini said, 'Beekeeping not only provides farmers with an additional source of earnings but also boosts crop yields through pollination. Haryana is committed to realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for a 'Sweet Revolution'.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The CM informed that under the Beekeeping Policy-2021, the state has set a target of preparing 7,750 beekeepers and producing 15,500 metric tonnes of honey by 2030. Currently, the Ramnagar centre provides training and has already distributed 74,000 bee boxes and 3.43 lakh comb sheets. Facilities for honey processing and bottling are also available. Farmers are being offered up to 85% subsidy on bee boxes, colonies, and equipment, he said. Underscoring the importance of diversification, Saini said horticulture and allied activities like dairy, fisheries, and beekeeping are becoming pillars of rural prosperity. 'In 2014, horticulture in Haryana was spread over 1.17 lakh acres, which has now expanded to 2.60 lakh acres. With FPOs, excellence centres, procurement schemes, and now BBY, farmers are becoming stronger,' he added. Encouraging youth and women entrepreneurs, the CM urged them to launch their own honey brands and explore global markets through online platforms. 'Beekeeping requires minimal land and can be an ideal startup opportunity. The government will extend full financial and technical support,' he assured. Supporting the initiative, Haryana Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare minister Shyam Singh Rana emphasized that enhancing farmers' income is the government's top priority. He said that sectors like dairy, animal husbandry, fisheries, and beekeeping are being promoted alongside crops to build a stronger rural economy. The workshop was attended by former minister Subhash Sudha, senior officials, agricultural experts, and representatives of beekeepers' associations. As per the data available on the website of Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority under Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry, about 500 flowering plant species, both wild and cultivated, are useful as major or minor sources of nectar and pollen. As per Union Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare-2023, India's total production of honey was 142 thousand metric tonne (MT). In India, the area under production of natural honey includesUttar Pradesh (17%), West Bengal (16%), Punjab (14%), Bihar (12%) and Rajasthan (9%). These states amount to the top five natural honey producers. The country has exported 107963.21 MT Natural Honey worth USD 177.52 million to the world during the financial year 2023-24, with major export destinations including USA, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Libya, as per DGCI&S data. As per an article 'Beekeeping: Opportunities and Challenges in Haryana' published in August 2024 by Biological Forum journal and written by experts of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, 'Beekeeping in Haryana offers significant potential due to the state's favorable climate, diverse flora, and agriculture-based economy, which enhances crop yield through pollination, and provides opportunities for income diversification. The varied cropping patterns, affected by different soil types, irrigation facilities, temperature, relative humidity, and agro-climatic conditions, make Haryana suitable for beekeeping, particularly with Apis mellifera . Haryana is among the top seven honey producing states (in India), yielding approximately 4,500 metric tons annually, with over 5,000 active beekeepers.'

Medical professional lured through ‘sex chat' blackmailed; loses Rs 94 lakh
A 35-year-old medical professional from the city was duped of Rs 94 lakh after he fell prey to cyber fraudsters who posed as a woman and contacted him on social media platforms. Later, the fraudsters threatened the doctor that they would share his intimate images on social media platforms and kept demanding money from him. Eventually, the victim approached the police following which an FIR was registered against unidentified persons. The doctor in his complaint said that in February this year, he met a woman who identified herself as Somya Awasthi on a social media platform. The woman said that she was pursuing her MBBS from Chandigarh and her parents were residing in Delhi. He said they exchanged numbers and the woman would say she was feeling lonely. Over a period, she would ask for gifts and he would transfer money to a bank account provided by her. She never showed him the bills for the articles she purchased. He said that eventually they got close and would have 'sex chats'. He said she started sending her nude photographs to him and asked him to share his intimate photographs which he did. Later in May, she said she was coming to Mumbai and he paid for her business class tickets. However later when he checked there was no such flight coming on that day. On May 2, the woman sent him a one view photograph which claimed that some Thailand-based hacker had got access to their photographs and chats demanding 3.10 bitcoin (Rs 2.5 crore approximately) failing which he would make their chats viral. The woman claimed that she had sold off her gold jewellery to pay him. She then said that if he did not make the payment, she would send their intimate clips to his work place and medical association. Fearing this, he took loans from several banks and over a period sent her nearly Rs 94 lakh. When he transferred the money however, the account name mentioned Jasmeen Kaur. He became suspicious and went through her social media profile and checked with the college she claimed to be doing MBBS from. There he found that a person named Somya Aswasthi had done Arts. Realising that he had been defrauded, he approached the cyber police station where an FIR was registered on Friday. An officer said that they have some technical leads and teams have been sent to nab the accused.
