CREDAI-NCR forms five sub-chapters for speedy resolve of buyers’ complaints
NEW DELHI: To facilitate quicker redressal of buyer’s complaints, the NCR body of Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI-NCR) recently formed five sub-chapters.
All the complaints of buyers pertaining to member developers will be handled centrally by CREDAI NCR in support and coordination with respective sub-chapters. This will help in reducing the backlog at parent body resulting in lesser time in resolving the issues of buyers.
Covering different regions of Delhi-NCR, these sub-chapters will continue prefixing name of CREDAI NCR and will be called CREDAI NCR (Delhi), CREDAI NCR (Haryana), CREDAI NCR (Western UP), CREDAI NCR (Raj Nagar Extension) and CREDAI NCR (Bhiwadi). As the name suggest, these sub-chapters will cover the member developers/builders in their respective areas and will operate under the umbrella of CREDAI NCR.
Each sub-chapter will cover the area earmarked under NCR region only. For example, CREDAI NCR (Haryana) will cover only the part of Haryana falling under NCR region.
Although, certain sub-chapters were operating from some time, yet the developers preferred joining CREDAI-NCR directly. To address this, a system has been put in place that no developer will become direct member of CREDAI NCR except the ones who are having their real estate project in Delhi. Also the present members will be transferred to respective sub-chapters based on their area of operation but by default each and every member will be known as member of CREDAI NCR.
The Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum which was specially set up to deal with buyer’s complaints, has resolved 868 complaints out of 972 filed so far.
Explaining the rationale behind this step, Dr. Anil Kumar Sharma, President, CREDAI-NCR says, “The decision to delegate the responsibilities to sub-chapters is a futuristic move. It will decentralize the workload on the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, ensuring quicker disposal of buyers’ complaints.”

News TV viewership jumps 33 per cent as West Asia war draws audiences
BARC Week 8 data shows news share rising to 8 per cent despite T20 World Cup
NEW DELHI: Even as individual television news channel ratings remain under a temporary pause, the genre itself is seeing a clear surge in audience attention.
According to the latest data from Broadcast Audience Research Council India, television news recorded a 33 per cent jump in genre share in Week 8 of 2026, covering February 28 to March 6.
The news genre accounted for 8 per cent of total television viewership during the week, up from 6 per cent the previous week. The spike in attention coincided with escalating geopolitical tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran, which have kept global headlines firmly fixed on West Asia.
The rise is notable because it came at a time when cricket was dominating television screens. The high-stakes stages of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, including the Super 8 fixtures and semi-finals, were being broadcast during the same period.
Despite the cricket frenzy, viewers appeared to be toggling between sport and global affairs, boosting the overall share of news programming.
The surge in genre share comes even as the government has enforced a one-month pause on publishing ratings for individual news channels. The move followed regulatory scrutiny of the television ratings ecosystem.
While channel-level rankings remain temporarily out of sight, the genre-level data suggests that when global tensions escalate, audiences continue to turn to television news for real-time updates.
