An hour of rains and even roofs of upscale societies in Gurgaon start to leak! The roof of Tower 7 of Unitech Escape in Sector 50 began to leak after heavy afternoon showers today.

Residents on the 17th floor suddenly heard the loud sound of water rushing down. When they stepped out they saw water flowing down the staircase.

Maintenance staff rushed to the roof to identify the leak. However, due to the rains, repair work could not be carried out immediately.

 

 

And, this is not the first time that the condominium has experienced construction-related issues.

“The water was rushing down from the 17th floor. At one point, we thought the water would enter our homes,” recounted Vibha Mathur, a terrified resident on the 17th floor.

Tower 7 is one of the incomplete towers at Unitech, where construction work is still on.

 But how can the roof start to leak already? Can the builder please answer!
