The president of the Dwarka Expressway Resident Welfare Association, Yashesh Yadav, said that though the circle rates are increasing every year, the basic facilities promised in the 2008 master plan have not been provided yet. “Now, by raising the circle rates, an additional burden will be imposed on people during the inflation period, further impacting the already slow real estate market,” he added.
