Futec Gateway: Amenities delayed are amenities denied, opine residents

Noida: Residents of Futec Gateway, Sector 75, Noida, have been struggling to get basic amenities. After raising the issue many times and holding various protests, the builder had promised to resolve the issues and shared deadlines for completing various incomplete projects in society.

Four months down the line, the residents are dismayed that the builder has not even started the work on the pending issues. In the email, the builder had mentioned that work on the second lift, fire safety, water tank, permanent electricity connection, and increasing parking space will be completed by October 10, August 31,  July 25, September 25 and July 30 respectively. 

Moreover, work on the sewage treatment plant, pump house, swimming pool and club, common area, and water connection was promised to be completed by October 15, August 31, August 25, September 30 and  October 25 respectively.

Apparently, most of the deadlines have passed. There are approximately  250 residents living in the society. Residents shared that now it is a dream to have basic amenities in society. Residents of the society also shared a  letter of completion schedule with the builder to demand answers.

Sunil Gupta, a resident of the society said, “We requested the builder to keep the promises. On June 25th, the builder had sent an email and assured us that work will start on June 30. But, it is the end of November and the month of the festival. Still, no work has been initiated in society.”

Rajeev Malkani, a resident of flat number A2-604, said, “In the society, there are no basic facilities for the residents. We have gotten trapped in the lift many times. There is only one lift in society which is not working properly. The builder had shared the completion schedule but it hasn’t been adhered to.”

He added, “The builder charges maintenance charges from the electricity meter, which is illegal. Also, we are not supposed to pay maintenance charges as there is no infrastructure, no parking for the residents, and society is lacking basic amenities.”

CitySpidey also tried to talk to the builder but he has not responded yet. We will update the story as soon as we get a reply from his side.
