Yashpal Garg, officiating deputy commissioner-cum-estate officer said, “Instead of skipping the appointment altogether, residents can reschedule the appointment, the option for which has been provided on the website.”

The rescheduled slot can be chosen from all available slots for other dates.

“However for the time being, this provision of mandatory wait for seven days is not being implemented, in the hope that applicants will voluntary exercise the option of rescheduling instead of wasting the appointed slots,” he added.
