Residents of Supertech Capetown, a residential society in Sector 74, Noida, are up in arms against the builder. They allege that the builder is planning to sell the open parking spaces in the society — areas that were originally meant to be left open.

As a mark of protest, residents used black paint over all open parking numbers within the society. They said that despite having paid the builder Rs 4 lakh in advance for underground parking, they were yet to receive allotment, as the area was still not fully constructed.

In the meantime, the builder earmarked slots in the open areas for parking. But residents suspect that once the underground parking is ready, the builder will sell these slots to new flat buyers, thus flouting the society's original plans.

Shailendra Baranwal, a resident, told City Spidey that the builder was also forcing residents with two or more cars to buy more parking slots, while at the same time remaining mum on the status of underground parking.

When City Spidey took up the matter with Raj Kumar, maintenance head of the society, he said the open-parking areas were just a stopgap till the undergruond parking was ready. He flatly denied residents' claims of selling the open parking slots. “We are not doing anything of the sort. This is all their imagination,” he added.

Besides the current issue, residents are also worried that about 150 residents who have paid in full to the builder for underground parking are yet to receive their allotment letters. However, the 200 residents who have aren't too happy either, as they are no closer to getting their underground parking slots.
