The flats will be given on lease to individuals aged 60 years and above for a specified period and not be available for purchase. However, occupants will have the option to transfer their flats to another senior citizen upon meeting certain criteria, he said.
Tripathi said parks and wide roads will be constructed in the 30,000 sqm land around the society.
